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.

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 1,161 km. The exact fare is the one IRCTC shows at checkout.

Estimated fares by class for the 1,161 km between Pune Jn and Salem Jn, priced for a Mail/Express train in General quota.
ClassFareBasis
SL Sleeper560from observed fares
3E AC 3 economy1,365from observed fares

1A AC first class3,481from observed fares

One adult, General quota, for the 1,161 km of this route, priced as a Mail/Express — the category 7 of the 8 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.
