About PURI GIMB SF

The train covers about 2,431 km and halts at 36 stations along the way, completing the run in around 42h 40m.
The PURI GIMB SF runs on Sat. The journey spans 3 days, so a stop marked Day 3 is reached on the 3rd day after departure — worth remembering when you plan hotel check-in or an onward connection. Its average speed across the whole route works out to roughly 57 km/h including halts.
Between its origin and destination the PURI GIMB SF makes 34 timed halts. Its longest scheduled stop is about 25 minutes at VIZIANAGRAM JN. Other notable halts include KHURDA ROAD JN (20 min), TITLAGARH (10 min), KANTABANJI (10 min), RAIPUR JN (10 min), NAGPUR (10 min). These longer stops are good points to fetch food or water, though shorter one- and two-minute halts mean you should be ready to board in advance.
