Useful tips for train travellers
• Onboard services on your train journey from Jammu to Varanasi can vary by operator. Generally, catering services like pre-packed meals, snacks, and beverages are available. The Indian Railways catering service provides meals that can usually be ordered in advance through their e-catering service. Check out the website for 'IRCTC E-Catering' for food options on your specific train.
• The seating options for trains on this route include Sleeper Class, AC Chair Car, AC 3 Tier, and AC 2 Tier. For a more comfortable experience, opt for AC Chair Car or AC 3 Tier. The Sleeper Class is economical but can be crowded. Research train listings on the Indian Railways website (indianrail.gov.in) to see the specifics for your particular train.
• When arriving at Varanasi Junction (BSB), be prepared for a busy station. You can leave your luggage at the luggage counter if you want to explore the city without it. The platform has basic amenities like restrooms, but showers are not available. To get to the city center quickly, take a taxi or auto-rickshaw from the station exit. Alternatively, you can take a state-run bus (Bus number 30 can connect you to various parts of the city). Make sure to check local bus schedules for running times.
