Also included in the table are their origin stations, since they differ per train, as well as their departure times from these stations. The arrival time at Jaipur, the schedules and journey durations are also included. Which Trains Should You Choose or Avoid? While we have handpicked those trains with the shortest journey durations out of the 26, there are still a few that stand out among the rest. The Swarna Jayanti Rajdhani Express Train No. 12958 is a good choice as it has the shortest journey duration out of all the trains. It departs from New Delhi at around 19:55 and arrives in Jaipur at around 00:20. The journey duration is just 4 hours and 25 minutes, with an averaged delay of 24 minutes, so it is still very acceptable. Further, it has a daily schedule too so you can easily incorporate it into your travel date. Enjoy a fun ride in the Delhi Sarai Rohilla Jaipur AC Double Decker Express Train No. 12986, the only double decker train in the route. Its journey duration is just 4 hours and 30 minutes, with an average delay of 18 minutes only. It departs from the Delhi Sarai Rohilla at 17:35 and arrives in Jaipur at around 22:05. It also has a daily schedule plus it is under the GNWL quota so chances of confirmation for waitlisted tickets are higher. If you're home is closer to the Old Delhi Junction, you can opt for the Ashram Express Train No. 12916. Its journey duration is 5 hours and 5 minutes with an average delay of 28 minutes. It also has a daily schedule so you can easily incorporate it into your personal schedule. It departs from the Old Delhi Junction 15:20 and arrives in Jaipur at around 20:25. It is also under the GNWL quota so even if you get a waitlisted ticket, you have a higher chance of having a ticket of RAC or confirmed status. Generally, it's advised that you avoid the following trains: Sultanpur Ahmedabad Express Train No. 19404, Varanasi Ahmedabad Weekly Express Train No. 19408, Kishanganj Ajmer Garib Nawaz Express Train No. 15715 and Muzaffarpur Porbandar Express Train No. 19270. Aside from the fact that they run once or twice a week, they also face delays. On average, their delays can be as much as two hours especially for their arrival timings. This contrasts their shorter journey duration and booking them is just not worth it, especially if you want to reach Jaipur on time.
