almost throughout the year current tkts will be available from SC to WR after charting...it reaches WR around 8 am (normally reaches before time) and you would get a connectivity for NGP almost immediately ( pune - ngp SF ) or PBR - HWH sf which stops at WR ( unofficial halt) ..this way reach NGP by 9.30am...or wait for azad hind and reach ngp by 10 am...this is sure shot connectivity between sc to ngp if we dont get tkts in direct trains ...
