see again — the counts, of course, move run to run.

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.

Other runs we hold
Measured over the full route, so these stay comparable with each other
whatever you have selected above. Raw chart data is kept for the last few runs only, so
this is a short window rather than a season.

Rake of 03029 HWH NES SPL
Coach order as recorded from the chart, front of the train first.
03029 HWH RGD 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 03029 HWH RGD SPL can be free for only part of the way
03029 HWH RGD SPL calls at 21 stations between HOWRAH JN and NATESAR. 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.
Using the coach order of 03029 HWH RGD SPL
The coach order for 03029 HWH RGD SPL is listed above as we last recorded it from a chart. Reading it alongside the vacant berths tells you where on the platform to stand — useful when a berth frees up only from a station partway along and you have to find it after boarding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about vacant berths and chart preparation.
03029 HWH RGD 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 21 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.
It can. Railways alter rakes, and the order shown here is what we recorded the last time we read a prepared chart for this train. Treat it as a strong guide rather than a guarantee, and check the coach indicator boards at the station.
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.
