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 1,909 km. The exact fare is the one IRCTC shows at checkout.

Estimated fares by class for the 1,909 km between Palakkad and Balasore, priced for a Superfast train in General quota.
ClassFareBasis
SL Sleeper820from observed fares
3E AC 3 economy1,958from observed fares
3A AC 3 tier2,079from observed fares
2A AC 2 tier2,961from observed fares
1A AC first class4,993from observed fares

One adult, General quota, for the 1,909 km of this route, priced as a Superfast — the category 8 of the 9 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.
