Point-to-point train tickets are best suited for travelers with a fixed itinerary. When booking, you’ll need to select the exact date, time, and train you wish to take. If you miss your train, the entire ticket becomes invalid and must be repurchased. In cases of train strikes or cancellations, refunds or changes must follow the ticket’s specific refund policy.

Point-to-point tickets work similarly to airline tickets — they use dynamic pricing. This means prices increase as the departure date approaches, during peak travel seasons, or as available seats decrease.

In general, the cheaper the ticket, the stricter the refund rules. Discounted “early bird” fares are often non-refundable, so it's important to review the fare conditions carefully before purchasing.
