What Are Standard Circular Journey Tickets (CJT)?

  • Circular Journey Tickets let you start and end your trip at the same station, covering up to 8 break journeys, and are perfect for pilgrimages or sightseeing tours. They offer telescopic (step-wise distance) fare benefits, which often cost less than equivalent point-to-point fares.
  • SCR provides standard circular tour routes that are pre-designed and ready for booking. These are listed with details such as the starting station, route, and total distance.
