class="reversehighlighted">is train - 12864/Yesvantpur-Howrah SF Express - is Rs.1930/- and almost always its a WL ticket, on the other hand one can try this CHAIN (not exactly) - Tr. No.22884 YPR - PURI Garibrath - Departs from YPR at 22:40 hrs on Saturdays and arrives at Puri on Mondays at 05:55 hrs 3A Fare = Rs.1045/- . Spend the day to visit the famous Jagannath Ji Temple at Puri or even go to the Chilkha lake and return to PURI late evening and then board Tr. No.12882 Puri-HWH Garibrath at 22:15 hrs on Mondays and arrive at HWH on Tuesdays at 07:05 hrs 3A Fare = Rs.610/- Total from YPR to HWH 3A fare = Rs.1655/- only and most of the time one gets CONFIRMED tickets.
