Great Useful Useful
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.
...
more...

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👍.

Overall Tip...
I boarded from Puri to Dehri on Sone in 2S
It was my longest 2S journey as tickets were only available in this class
.
1. Charging sockets available in 2S on both
...
more...
sides, 2 on each side..
.
2. Toilets were neat and clean till evening but after Hijli or say from entering in bengal, unreserved tickets or no tickets passenger made the 2S as hell with their overloaded luggages.. blocked the gates..
.
3. Pantry Food is available however over charging is common as even pantry guys show their anger in this class as majority of them are from lower class or say labour class..
80rs for egg 🥚 Biryani that too, tasteless... Not so good but i don't found another option as Hijli has not much food options plus my coach was in last..
.
4. Tickets were checked in each zone... In ECR after Gomo some arguments with UTS pax who was trying to fool TTE by showing same tickets twice for double people.. that so called labour class UTS pax was acting like that railway owe him and he has power to travel like this.. however Imo ppl like these are curse to nation, in the name of garibi they block path for real garibs.. well later RPF handle him, he was forced to debaord at next station when next station came... He deny and then pay the fine..
.
5. Speed was 110 ... But in night in ECR we blow to 130 mps
However we were mostly ontime ... Was little bit delay after Hijli but still we maintain the TT due to slack..
.
Overall i rate this train as 3/5
Thanks

#BookingTip
People who wish to take this train from Balasore/Kharagpur to Delhi (Never opt this train,still if having NO other option) , and getting Regret status , then book Bhadrak to New Delhi and Change your Boarding Point to Balasore/Kharagpur (Whichever is your boarding station).
Balasore is Charting station for this train and BLS & KGP are under RLWL , whereas BHC is under GNWL , thus having more chance to get confirm seats.

You can not.
You have booked a Ticket From KGP to NDLS, then you cannot change its boarding from a previous station.
Only option is Cancel this ticket and Re-book for Bhadrak to New Delhi by paying extra money and change the boarding station to Kharagpur.
