Re# 496579-23                  
1. I differ. There is no such distance stipulation of 500 km.
3. Excluding the day of arrival and departure.
4. No. 3AC Fare for Express for 615 is not charged. There are some deductions.
5. Yuva, GR and JS do not fall into premium category of trains.
8. Is it regarding Break Journey you are talking about?
9. Not necessarily train should ply via the shortest possible route.
11/12. Would need to verify this. Kindly provide with any screen shot of tickets if you have availed such facility.

13. BPT's are issued in unusual circumstances when there is no possible connection possible between two stations or the train takes a longer route. As more and more people starts availing tickets via the same route, the same is fed into the system and is then issued as Normal Reservation Tickets.

1.for break journeys, minimum distance travelled should be more than 500 kilometres
also as personally experienced by me in /blog/post/444282
2.i have also said excluding the day of arrival and departure
4.as far as my knowledge goes the fare for 615 km will be charged as the entire fare is calculated in first ticket and during booking first ticket you cannot feed in details of second/third leg. so system is unaware whether i ll book by which train
5 yuva gr and js are all unavailable for telescopic. they may not be premier trains but are all included in special category trains with point to point fare structure.

Re# 496579-34                  
1. You did not specify earlier whether it was for break journey or onward journey and hence was my question.
4. If you book all the tickets at one shot, then deductions are available.
5. I never said they were available for telescopic fares. I simply objected to the comment that they were premier trains.
(Yes, the reason telescopic fares is not available in them is because they follow a point to point fare structure)
9. Total distance to be traveled should be based on the 15% of the shortest possible route but it is not mandatory that if at all train travels between the starting and destination station I intend to travel by,

the direct train may also take the shortest possible route.

13. No. BPT's are not actually abolished but are less used these days.
