Each leg is a separate ticket on its own PNR, booked separately — and the second one is only worth buying once the first is confirmed.

How we grade this

Fares

Estimated from the published tables for 1,013 km. The exact fare is the one IRCTC shows at checkout.

Estimated fares by class for the 1,013 km between Ludhiana Jn and Bhopal Jn, priced for a Mail/Express train in General quota.
ClassFareBasis
SL Sleeper515from observed fares
3E AC 3 economy1,250from observed fares
3A AC 3 tier1,344from observed fares
2A AC 2 tier1,906from observed fares
1A AC first class3,187from observed fares

One adult, General quota, for the 1,013 km of this route, priced as a Mail/Express — the category 6 of the 10 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.
