Which classes empty out on 12006 KALKA SHTABDI EX
Vacancy by travel class on 27 Oct 2026, KURUKSHETRA JN to NEW DELHI. 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.
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. To see when 12006 reaches each of those stations, check its full schedule and halts.
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.

Classes you can find vacant on 12006 KALKA SHTBDI EX
