Route and stops
Every scheduled call in order, from Puri (PURI) to Howrah Jn (HWH). An em dash means there is no such event: the train starts at that station or finishes there. “Day” counts from the day it leaves its origin, so a stop on day 2 is the morning after departure.

What is and is not on this page
Everything above is published timetable data — scheduled times, halts, day numbers and cumulative distance. It changes when the timetable changes and not otherwise, and nothing on this page predicts a delay.
Seat availability is not shown here, because it changes by the minute and a cached page cannot tell the truth about it. Search this route and a date to have every class checked at the moment you ask — and, if 22896 is full, to have RailRoute look for a split ticket, an earlier boarding point or a journey with one change. How that works is written up in the method behind the alternatives.
RailRoute is an independent service and does not sell tickets. Timetable data can be wrong or out of date; where it comes from and how far it can be trusted is written down. Confirm the times against Indian Railways before you travel.
