Oct 26 (08:45) 22303/Howrah - Gaya Vande Bharat Express | HWH/Howrah Junction (23 PFs)

jishnuthakur12301^~ 10062 blog postsAn alternative way to go to Delhi from Howrah.
If you cannot get tickets from any Delhi bound train from Howrah/Sealdah. You can book in 22303 up to Gaya and then take 12397 from Gaya. Ticket availability in both 22303 and 12397 are good as you can get seats in these two trains around one month before. You will have a layover for 1 hr 30 minutes at Gaya.

Ticket availability in 12397 Mahabodhi Express is good?
You'll always find Mahabodhi Express in heavy WL, even when Sealdah and Howrah Rajdhani will have 100-200 seats empty.

A journey to remember: 12301 Rajdhani Express's first AC food review.
I travelled upto New Delhi in 12301 Rajdhani Express's first AC from Howrah to New Delhi on 11 April. It was an unforgettable journey. Although it is a food tip but I will share my total experience in Howrah Rajdhani.

UBER parking is available at Howrah. This is especially helpful because when this was not present, the Uber cabs used to park at private car parking where you had to pay additional 60 for parking charges. However because of this, you need only pay the fare. There is also a kiosk here where you can book a cab for yourself if you are unable to do it yourself. The UBER parking is located in between the new and the old terminus. If you exit from the old terminus, cross the road and keep heading right and you shall see it. If you exit from the new terminus, cross the road and keep heading left.

On An Additional Note, If You Are Booking Ola, You Will Have To Board The Cab From The Parking. Hence, An Addional INR 71/- Would Be Added To Your Bill. Make Sure You Don't Pay Cash To Chauffer, Since It Gets Debited From Your Ola Money As A Part Of "Fare". Yes...Try To Book Uber Since They Have Their Own Parking. Ola Doesnt Bother To Have Their Own Parking Since They Are Part Of This Organized Loot At HWH
OLA is a real looter. Looting through surge prices and abnormal fare. Once fare from Belur to Howrah Railway Station was shown as Rs. 600(normal fare is about 150) in the app. Plus, I think Uber availability is better in Howrah.
Even I Have Seen That Uber Is Cheaper Than Ola. Ola Is Looting More In Those Cities Where UBER Doesn't Exist
Yes. They also do it illogically. Even when there are about 5-6 cabs in the area, they still charge surge price. Absolute nonsense
Ironic, one can do a full UP/DN of KGP 10 times for the price it takes to travel within Calcutta itself.
One of the best train from Puri to Howrah and Howrah to Puri. Most of the time its run on time. Most passenger prefers for its on time early morning arrival (04.50 am) at Howrah. Neat & clean, paper wrapped bedding provided by ECoR in ac coaches. Permanent loco link is Santragachi #WAP4.
