    I need to book two tickets for my parents from Delhi to Mumbai, and they would like to go on the Garib Rath train. Before making the booking I need to find out what time the train leaves from Delhi and what time it arrives in Mumbai and ask them if is suitable for them, and then make a booking.

    I would appreciate it if someone could please list the train departure and arrival time for the Garib Rath Delhi to Mumbai.

    Overview

    If you are not that luxurious or someone who wants to spend least on train journey, you can opt for the Garib Rath line of trains. The Garib Rath line of trains are fast and fully air-conditioned trains which are not priced as high as in the higher class of trains. In a way, it's like a middle-class train suitable for those who want to save some money during their transport. There are three-tier seats available but they have lesser space as compared to normal AC trains. Journey duration is fast too but not as fast as compared to fast express trains. There are some Garib Rath trains from Delhi to Mumbai too, as well as other cities in India.

    Delhi to Mumbai Garib Rath Trains

    The distance between Delhi and Mumbai is about 1,416 kilometres. Driving this distance can take around 22 hours, more or less. Train journey is a bit more unpredictable, even with the Garib Rath line of trains. However, do expect journey duration to be a bit longer than usual. There are two Garib Rath trains plying between Delhi and Mumbai. They originate from different railway stations in Delhi too but terminate at the Bandra Terminus in Mumbai.
