One adult, General quota, for the 1,640 km of this route, priced as a Mail/Express — the category 1 of the 3 trains above belong to. Which classes a particular train actually carries is not in our timetable, so this is what the distance costs in each class rather than a list of what is on any one train; the seat check below reads the real classes live. Every figure is an estimate confirmed at IRCTC checkout, never a quote, and flexi-fare trains are priced at the floor because occupancy pricing cannot be known before booking.
