This tip is for those who want to go to Delhi from Kolkata but can't able to get a seat in any train from Howrah/Sealdah.

If you can't able to get confirmed seat in any train from Howrah/Sealdah to Delhi, there is an alternative option for you. Book any Delhi Bound train from Hijli, but more chances are your WL can be confirmed from Hijli. From Howrah/Sealdah there are less chances.

Here's my recommendations if you are going to Delhi from Hijli.

1) Bhubaneswar Rajdhani: Best train for going to Delhi according to me from Hijli. Takes less time and remains punctual throughout the journey.

2) Purushottam Express: Best non-premium train for going to Delhi from Hijli and my personal choice for going to Delhi. This train goes through the beautiful Chota Nagpur Plateau and services are very good. But the issue is Purushottam Express comes Hijli at the Midnight, safety might be a concern.

3) Nandan Kanan Express: Best non-premium train after Purushottam. Service is very good.

4) Odisha Sampark Kranti Express: Good train, has very good speed and less stops throughout the journey.

5) Neelachal Express: Good train but takes more time.

6) Kalinga Utkal Express: Not recommended to travel, least punctual train in the route.

Purushottam Express might be a good choice for passengers from Kolkata for going to Puri and Delhi.

If you can't get a seat in Puri/Delhi Bound train from Kolkata, you can take Purushottam Express.

For going towards Puri
Take Howrah Medinipur Local at 6:10 pm and reach Kharagpur and then take a Toto towards Hijli station, they will take arround 150 bucks. And then take 12802 Purushottam Express from Hijli.

2) For going towards Delhi
You have to reach Hijli station by 10 pm, it's not recommended to reach Hijli arround 12 to 1 am for your safety. You will have waiting room for resting. After resting, take 12801 Purushottam Express from Hijli to Delhi.

Hijli station is 5 km away from Kharagpur Jn and situated just outside the campus of IIT Kharagpur. Reserved taxis and auto-rickshaws are available for a quick commute of around 15-20 minutes.
Shared auto-rickshaws (Tata Magic and Vikram) are also available from KGP. To avail of these shared autos, one has to exit from the South Side (the main exit/railway township side) of the KGP railway station and walk straight for 130 m to Bilimoria petrol pump. Then one has to board an auto headed towards Prem Bazar or Salua and get down at the IIT Puri Gate stop, which is situated on top of a flyover. Then after climbing down the stairs, one can either walk or take a cycle
