Booking train tickets in India is a fairly straightforward process, with the main difficulty for foreign tourists being figuring out which train classes to book (and which trains go where).

The train numbers and the corresponding letters refer to the train’s general class:

– SL: Sleeper Class

– 1A: Air-conditioned First Class

– 2A: Air-conditioned Second Class

– 3A: Air-conditioned Third Class

– 2S: Sleeper Second Class

– CC:- Fourteen car train with two power cars at either end.
