Often, the terminus for long-distance trains into a city or town is not the railway station that is the “main” station for that town, but rather some outlying or suburban station that can better handle the long-distance traffic. The names of the trains, unfortunately, often reflect these actual termini rather than the “real” destination to which service is being provided. Similarly, sometimes a nearby station is used for services to an intermediate city as well, instead of a station at the city. For e.g.

  • New Delhi services may terminate at Hazrat Nizamuddin or Sarai Rohilla.
  • Mumbai services may terminate at Dadar, Kurla, or Bandra.
  • Bhopal services may terminate at Habibganj.
  • Calcutta services may terminate at Howrah or Sealdah.
  • Chennai (Madras) services may terminate at Egmore or Tambaram
  • Varanasi services may terminate at Manduadih.
  • Jaipur services may terminate at Durgapura.
  • Hyderabad services may terminate at Kacheguda.
  • Ranchi services may terminate at Hatia.
  • Nagpur services may terminate at Itwari.
  • Patna services may terminate at Rajendra Nagar.
  • Bangalore services may terminate at Yeshwantpur [5/01]

Similarly, for intermediate stations:

  • Kazipet for Warangal
  • Shrirampur for Belapur
  • Katpadi for Vellore
  • Pratapnagar or Vishwamitri for Vadodara (Baroda) (NG)
