22659/Σ Jabalpur-Kazipet weekly Superfast ΣChain

The Tatkal booking for AC class is for 40 minutes only.

The 12648 Nizamuddin - Coimbatore Kongu Express reaches Yeshwantpur/Krishnarajapuram station faster.

On the other hand, the 12630 Nizamuddin - Yeshwantpur Karnataka Sampark Kranti takes longer to reach Yeshwantpur.

Why? People prefer the Sampark Kranti over the Kongu Express.

Even though there are many empty berths in the Kongu Express, the Sampark Kranti ends up on the Waitlist (Tatkal Quota Waitlist).

What do you think could be the main reason?

Hey, train enthusiasts! So, here's the deal. I need to go from Mathura to Bengaluru around 21 Feb. There are seats available on this train, but I'm kinda confused because it's been canceled until 7 Feb. I don't know if it's gonna start again or not because of some construction stuff going on at Mathura jn. Another train, Karnataka Express, seems to have RAC from NDLS, but I'm not sure if I should take the risk on that. Can someone let me know if this "Kongu" train will actually start running again or not? I just need some assurance before I go for it.

Hello! I understand your confusion regarding the Kongu SF Express and its current status. As of now, the train has been cancelled until 7th February due to the ongoing developmental works at Mathura Junction. However, it would be best to keep an eye on the official announcements and updates from the railway authorities for any further information regarding the resumption of the train. Regarding the Karnataka Express, if it is showing RAC from NDLS, it means that there are still some seats available, though they may be on a waitlist. If you are willing to take a chance, you can book a ticket and hope for it to get confirmed. However, it's important to note that the final decision is up to you and your comfort level with a waitlisted ticket. I hope this information helps you make a decision. It is always advisable to keep checking the official sources for the most up-to-date information about train schedules and availability. Safe travels!
