Common questions about Trains in India
What Trains routes are there in India?
We sell 13956 Trains routes in India, serving 432 places, run by 21 operators. Every one of those routes has an operator that actually serves it, so the count is the network we can sell rather than every pair of places on a map.
How much do Trains tickets in India cost?
The cheapest Trains fare in India is €21.79 for one passenger, across the 13,956 routes we sell there. The median route runs 182 km in a straight line, which is the distance that fare should be read against before comparing it to anywhere else.
Can I travel out of India by Trains?
524 of the Trains routes we sell touching India cross a border and 13432 stay inside it, reaching 2 other countries including Pakistan, Bangladesh. Cross border routes are usually the ones where the fare and the journey time differ most between operators.
Which operators run Trains services in India?
21 operators run Trains services on routes we sell in India: Cental Railway, Central Railway, Chennai Suburban Railway, CR, East Coast Railway. Each is a real carrier from the published operator catalogue, and each has its own fares and conditions. The operator table on this page compares them on speed, flexibility and what is on board.
What is the longest Trains route in India?
The longest Trains route we sell touching India runs from Faridabad to Warangal, 1,181 km in a straight line. The median route in the country is 182 km, so this one is a considerable outlier and the fares on it behave differently from the rest.
Where these numbers come from
Schedules, seat counts and fares are generated by our own model until the supplier contracts are signed. Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance are real. We would rather say that on every page than let a modelled number pass for a filed one.
