One adult, General quota, for the 1,224 km of this route, priced as a Superfast — the category 3 of the 4 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.
