Delhi to Chandigarh by Train

Trains run from New Delhi Railway Station to Chandigarh Junction, including daytime expresses with AC chair cars. Departure times, journey times and fares differ by train and change with the timetable, so check the current schedule and book on the IRCTC website or app. Long-distance trains use different classes: AC Chair Car (CC) and Executive Chair Car (EC) for daytime seats, AC sleeper classes (1A, 2A, 3A) for berths, and non-AC Second Sitting (2S) and Sleeper (SL) as the cheapest options.

Tips for Traveling from Delhi to Chandigarh

  • Book chair-car trains early: Popular daytime services fill up first, especially on weekends.
  • Check the departure station: Most fast trains to Chandigarh leave from New Delhi Railway Station, but some start at other Delhi stations. Look at the station name on your ticket.
  • Winter fog: In December and January fog often delays flights and trains in North India, so leave a buffer.
