Journey Break Rules for Long-Distance Single-Journey Tickets

For long-distance single-journey tickets exceeding 500 kilometers, passengers are permitted a single journey break. This break allows them to interrupt their trip at any station for a maximum duration of two days.

1. Upon purchasing a long-distance single-journey ticket, passengers should inform the ticket office or booking agent of their intended break station.
2. The ticket will be endorsed to indicate the break station and the duration of the break.
3. At the break station, passengers must present their ticket to the station staff for validation.
4. The break period commences from the time of validation and expires two days later at midnight.
5. Passengers must resume their journey from the same break station within the specified break period.

Conditions of Journey Break:

• The journey break is permitted only once per ticket.
• The break must not exceed two days.
• The break station can be any station along the route of the ticket.
• Passengers are not permitted to travel in the opposite direction from the break station.
• Passengers remain responsible for any additional expenses incurred during the break, such as accommodation or meals.

Purpose of Journey Break:

The journey break allows passengers to pause their journey for various reasons, such as:

• Visiting a destination near the break station
• Attending a business meeting
• Taking a rest or breaking up a long journey
• Handling unexpected delays or emergencies

Note: It is advisable to check with the train operator for any specific regulations or restrictions regarding journey breaks, as they may vary depending on the route and ticket type.
