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.

Bro, in my opinion, seat availability is really hard in Neelachal express, because its GNWL is till before BLS only and from BLS fresh RLWL is issued. And that always runs jam packed, because it is the only train, serving odisha to BSB,LKO and central UP. But then also 22857 src Anvt exp, 12443 Haldiya exp are some extras which can be better option than puru and neelachal exp. Others are absolutely fine👍.

#BookingTip
Those who wish to travel from Balasore-Kharagpur to Delhi, kindly check/opt for booking from Bhadrak [BHC]. As BHC is in GNWL quota whereas BLS & KGP are in RLWL quota , so better chances of getting Confirmed seats from there.
