RAC is not a confirmed berth and a waitlist number is not a seat. Fares are our estimate from the published tables, confirmed at IRCTC checkout — never a quote. When they are all full, a journey with one change often still has a berth — the search above looks for those too.

A booked timetable is a promise — this is what has actually happened.

One adult, General quota, for the 981 km of this route, priced as a Superfast — the category 3 of the 6 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.
