Route and stops
Every scheduled call in order, from Darjeeling (DJ) to New Jalpaiguri (NJP). 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 52538 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.
