Vacancy information is based on the reservation chart. Vacant berths may be allocated later. Occupy a berth only if permitted by the TTE or under applicable railway rules.

Which classes empty out on 01028 GKP DR SPL

Vacancy by travel class on 18 Aug 2026, NASHIK ROAD to DADAR. A train's class mix is a property of the train, so this is the shape you can expect to see again — the counts, of course, move run to run.

Sleeper 50
Third AC (3AC) 6

How far the vacant berths actually last

A berth booked from an intermediate station is empty until someone boards. This is the difference between a berth you could hold to your destination and one that frees up for two stops.

Vacant the entire journey 49
Vacant for about half the route 7

Classes you can find vacant on 01028 GKP DR SPL

01028 GKP DR SPL is made up of Sleeper and Third AC coaches. Only these classes can ever show a vacancy here, and a berth that is free in one of them tells you nothing about the others — each class is charted separately.

Where a whole cabin or coupe falls vacant it is called out separately below, which is worth looking for if you are travelling as a family or need the berths together.

Why a berth on 01028 GKP DR SPL can be free for only part of the way

01028 GKP DR SPL calls at 25 stations between GORAKHPUR JN and DADAR. Every one of them is a point at which somebody boards or gets down, so a berth booked only as far as an intermediate station reads as vacant for the rest of the run. That is why each berth below shows how far it stays empty rather than a plain vacant-or-booked flag, and why setting your own boarding and deboarding stations changes what you see.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about vacant berths and chart preparation.

01028 GKP DR SPL is composed of Sleeper and Third AC. A vacancy can only appear in a class the train actually carries, and each class is charted on its own, so a free seat in one says nothing about availability in another.

A berth is often booked for just one leg. With 25 intermediate stations on this route, a passenger may occupy it from partway along, leaving it empty until then. Set your boarding and deboarding stations above and the list narrows to berths free across your stretch.

No. A vacant berth is simply an empty berth in the chart. Occupy a berth only if the TTE allocates it to you or if it is permitted under railway rules. This page only shows information; it does not assign or reserve any berth.

No. This is a free independent tool that reads the publicly available reservation chart and presents it more clearly. It does not book, reserve or allocate berths, and it is not affiliated with Indian Railways or IRCTC.
