RailFans don't miss their train. Why? Because they go to the station HOURS before the actual departure of their Train - to watch OTHER trains depart. - Prince Maan

Please note.
Purushottam Express's coach position gets changed regularly. Please check NTES to find out your coach position. And not only Purushottam, Nandan Kanan and Neelachal Express's CC gets changed too.

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.

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.

This is one of the favorite train for the passengers from puri, bbs, tata, prr,bksc, gomo, gaya, ddu and cnb because of its time suitability. Before Covid this train rarely arrived its destination on time whether up or down train but after this train running as Covid spl, this train maintained its punctuality very well, even cleanliness is better from earlier days, one of the most demanded and best train runs jampacked whole year and one more important thing, it runs from New Delhi due to which it has big passenger/fan base. Others are from anvt like 12875,12815,12819,22849, etc. Generally from Tata, Gaya, Ald this train has large number of crowd.

NTES app shows exact rake position on a particular day. Thus, it is advisable to follow the same before travelling on this train.
