Which Trains Should You Choose or Avoid?
While there are many trains for this route, not all of them are worth choosing. For those who are pressed for time and want to reach Jammu Tawi in a quicker time, you have several options. One of the best trains for this purpose is the New Delhi Jammu Tawi Rajdhani Express Train No. 12425. It departs from New Delhi at around 20:40 and arrives in Jammu Tawi at around 5:45. Journey duration is just 9 hours and 5 minutes, with an average delay of just 1 minute. The train also has schedules daily so you can easily incorporate it into your schedule.
Another quick journey train is the Shri Shakti AC Express Train No. 22461. It departs from New Delhi at 17:30 and arrives in Jammu Tawi at around 3:00. Journey duration is around 9 hours and 30 minutes. The train rarely has delays too, sometimes even arriving at the station earlier than the designated time. Again, this train has daily schedules too so you can easily incorporate it into your schedule.
Since the trains mentioned above have late afternoon or late night timings, you also need choices for early morning trains. For that, you can opt for either the Swaraj Express Train No. 12471 or Mumbai CST Jammu Tawi AC SF Train No. 02171. These trains have journey durations still under 11 Hours. They do have delays but they're under 30 minutes so they're very acceptable still.
Trains to avoid are the following: Allahabad Jammu Tawi SF Train No. 04111 and Tatanagar Jammu Tawi Express Train No. 18101. They have long journey durations, in addition to the delays they have, which are over three hours. All the other trains are okay, but they also face delays under an hour.
