If you are looking for a Kolhapur to Miraj train, you probably want to know when the next one leaves, how long it takes and what it costs. The honest answer is that a public listing showed 19 trains on 25 October 2026, running from just after midnight to 11:30 PM, with trips of 40 minutes to about an hour and three quarters.
This guide shows that listing, explains what it can and cannot tell you, and shows how to confirm a train before you go.
We are not Indian Railways. We cannot see live running status or seat availability, so treat everything here as a dated starting point and not a final timetable.
Key Takeaways
- The erail.in listing, opened on 25 October 2026, showed 19 trains from Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj Terminus Kolhapur (KOP) to Miraj Junction (MRJ).
- The first listed departure was 00:05 and the last was 23:30, so there is a train through most of the day.
- Listed journey times run from 40 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes, depending on the train and its stops.
- The listing’s fare table for 47 km shows Rs 30 general, Rs 45 second sitting and Rs 140 sleeper on mail and express trains, with higher classes costing more. Special trains and DMU services may be priced differently.
- The listing’s own distance figures are 47 km for the fare table and 48 km for the fastest train, so use roughly 47 to 48 km.
- The listing shows the Pune Vande Bharat (20673) leaving Kolhapur at 08:15 and reaching Miraj at 08:55, the fastest of the 19, with running days “M Th Sa” in the page’s answer text.
- Run times and days change. Check the National Train Enquiry System (NTES) or IRCTC on the day.
How Many Trains Run From Kolhapur to Miraj?
The erail page said there are 19 trains between the two stations. That count includes reserved express trains, DMU services and special trains, so it does not mean 19 trains run every day. The page’s answer text says the first train, KOP CSMT SPL (01418), departs at 00:05 “and train runs on Th”, and that the last, KOP PUNE SPECIAL (01024), departs at 23:30 and runs daily.
The day grid for each train did not display readable text on our copy of the page, so we can only confirm days for the few trains the page spelled out.
Why Does the Number of Trains Change?
Special trains come and go, some trains run on only some days of the week, and each listing site filters in its own way. A page that shows tickets for one date will show a smaller set than one that shows every train that runs on any day. For that reason, treat the 19 as the upper end of what you might see.
What Is the Kolhapur to Miraj Train Timetable?
The Kolhapur to Miraj train timings below come from one dated listing.
The table below is taken from the erail.in Kolhapur to Miraj listing on 25 October 2026. We kept the departure from Kolhapur, the arrival at Miraj and the listed travel time. We did not copy running days, because the page did not show them in text we could read, except where its answer text named them.
| Train (number) | Departs Kolhapur | Arrives Miraj | Listed time |
|---|---|---|---|
| KOP CSMT SPL (01418) | 00:05 | 01:50 | 1h 45m |
| KOP DHN Express (11045) | 04:35 | 05:40 | 1h 05m |
| KOP-Pune DMU (11426), listed daily | 05:10 | 06:10 | 1h 00m |
| KOP KLBG Special (01451) | 06:10 | 07:30 | 1h 20m |
| Pune Vande Bharat (20673) | 08:15 | 08:55 | 0h 40m |
| Koyna Express (11030) | 08:25 | 09:22 | 0h 57m |
| KOP NZM Superfast (12147) | 09:35 | 10:15 | 0h 40m |
| KOP-MRJ DMU (71426) | 10:25 | 11:35 | 1h 10m |
| Haripriya Express (17416) | 11:50 | 13:10 | 1h 20m |
| KOP Nagpur Express (11404) | 12:45 | 13:50 | 1h 05m |
| Ahmedabad Express (11050) | 13:30 | 14:35 | 1h 05m |
| Maharashtra Express (11039) | 14:50 | 15:45 | 0h 55m |
| KOP KLBG Superfast (22156) | 15:05 | 16:30 | 1h 25m |
| KOP-STR DMU (71424) | 17:00 | 18:05 | 1h 05m |
| KOP-SLI DMU (71430) | 18:35 | 19:48 | 1h 13m |
| Mahalaxmi Express (17412) | 20:55 | 21:50 | 0h 55m |
| KOP-MRJ DMU (71428) | 21:30 | 22:40 | 1h 10m |
| KOP Pune Express (11420) | 21:50 | 22:55 | 1h 05m |
| KOP Pune Special (01024), listed daily | 23:30 | not shown | not shown |
For the last row, our copy of the page showed the departure but not an arrival time, so we leave those cells as “not shown”. The times are the page’s own, and we did not verify them against the railway’s timetable. The listed travel times match arrival minus departure for the 18 rows with both times, but that only shows the page is consistent with itself, so use the table as a guide only.
IRCTC cross-check, retrieved 26 October 2026 at about 1:35 AM IST. We ran the Kolhapur (S C Shahu Mah T, KOP) to Miraj Jn. (MRJ) search for Monday 26 October 2026 on the IRCTC train search page. It listed 9 trains: 01451 at 06:10 to 07:30, 20673 Pune Vande Bharat at 08:15 to 08:55, 11030 Koyna Express at 08:25 to 09:22, 17416 Haripriya Express at 11:50 to 13:10, 11404 at 12:45 to 13:50, 11039 Maharashtra Express at 14:50 to 15:45, 22156 at 15:05 to 16:30, 17412 Mahalaxmi Express at 20:55 to 21:50 and 11420 at 21:50 to 22:55. Each of those departure and arrival times matches the table above. IRCTC did not list the DMU services, 01418, 11045, 12147, 11050 or 01024 for that date, so this check neither confirms nor rules out those rows. It also did not show you the fares we cite above, because we did not open the fare screens. The IRCTC page itself says to check the NTES website or app for actual time before boarding.
One difference: IRCTC’s dated search for 26 October 2026 showed 11030 leaving Kolhapur at 08:25. The undated Indian Railways list we cite elsewhere shows 07:55. The IRCTC result is for that one date. We do not know the date of the other list. We did not check what days each source’s run-day letters mean, so this draft makes no claim about which days these trains run. We cannot say which is current for the day you travel, so confirm 11030 on NTES or IRCTC for your date.
Which Is the Fastest Kolhapur to Miraj Train?
On this listing, the fastest is the Pune Vande Bharat (20673), at 40 minutes for 48 km, according to the page’s answer text. The Superfast 12147 to Nizamuddin is also listed at 40 minutes. The slowest listed trips are the special services that leave around midnight. These are the page’s figures on one day, and a train’s timing can change.
Is There a Kolhapur Miraj Vande Bharat?
The Kolhapur Miraj Vande Bharat question comes up often, so here is what the listing shows.
The listing shows the Pune Vande Bharat (20673) as a Kolhapur departure and gives its days as “M Th Sa” in the answer text. Wikipedia’s page for the SCSMT Kolhapur to Pune Vande Bharat Express covers the service. It lists three days a week (Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays), with a footnote sourced to a page retrieved in September 2024, so it matches the erail text but is not a current timetable.
Running days and fares for a premium train can change, and it may sell out, so check before you plan around it.
What Does a Kolhapur to Miraj Train Cost?
The Kolhapur to Miraj train fare depends on the class and the type of train.
The same page shows a fare table for mail and express trains for 47 km.
| Class | Fare shown (adult, Rs) |
|---|---|
| General (GN) | 30 |
| Second sitting (2S) | 45 |
| Sleeper (SL) | 140 |
| Chair car (CC) | 260 |
| AC 3-tier (3A) | 495 |
| AC 2-tier (2A) | 700 |
| First AC (1A) | 1,165 |
The table is for ordinary mail and express fares by distance. It does not cover DMU tickets, special trains or reservation, dynamic and superfast charges, so the amount you pay may be different. Classes also differ by train, and the page does not show a separate fare for the Vande Bharat. Check the final fare when you book.
Which Ticket Class Should You Choose for a Short Kolhapur to Miraj Train Trip?
For a trip of less than two hours, many people choose a general or second sitting ticket, but that is a matter of preference. A reserved seat helps if you have luggage or travel with children, and the page does not show seat availability. That is general advice, not a finding about these trains.
How Far Is Kolhapur From Miraj?
The Kolhapur to Miraj distance is short.
The listing’s fare table uses 47 km and its fastest-train line says 48 km. A distance of about 47 to 48 km by rail is consistent with Wikipedia’s description of the Miraj to Kolhapur line, which says Kolhapur is the end point of that line, though we did not find a distance on that page. Road distance is a different number and depends on the route, so check a live map.
How Do You Plan Your Kolhapur to Miraj Train Trip?
A short trip still benefits from a plan.
- Pick a window. The listing has departures through the day, with a cluster between 08:15 and 15:05.
- Choose a train type. A DMU suits a short ordinary trip, and an express or Vande Bharat is faster.
- Check the days. Confirm that the train you want runs on your date.
- Book or buy. Reserved trains need a ticket in advance. For unreserved services, follow the railway’s current rules.
- Reach the station early. Kolhapur is a terminus, so you board where the trains begin.
Where Do You Board in Kolhapur?
You board at the Kolhapur terminus, code KOP. If you are not sure of the station name, search by the code KOP, which is the code on the listing.
What Happens at Miraj?
Miraj is a junction, and many travellers change trains there. We did not check onward connections, so do not assume a connection will wait for you. If you have a connecting ticket, leave a buffer.
Which Time of Day Suits Your Kolhapur to Miraj Train?
Here is how the listed departures group, based only on the table above.
| Part of the day | Listed departures from Kolhapur |
|---|---|
| Midnight to 6 AM | 00:05, 04:35, 05:10 |
| 6 AM to noon | 06:10, 08:15, 08:25, 09:35, 10:25, 11:50 |
| Noon to 6 PM | 12:45, 13:30, 14:50, 15:05, 17:00 |
| 6 PM to midnight | 18:35, 20:55, 21:30, 21:50, 23:30 |
Morning and afternoon have the most choice. After 9 PM the trains are fewer, and the last one on this listing leaves at 23:30. Whether it suits you depends on how you plan to continue from Miraj.
What Can You Do Around Kolhapur Before or After the Trip?
If you have time in the city, our Kolhapur tourist places guide lists places to see, and our guide to hotels in Kolhapur covers places to stay near the railway station and the bus stand. For the main temple, see the Ambabai temple guide.
What Mistakes Should You Avoid?
- Do not treat the 19 listed trains as 19 daily trains.
- Do not rely on a third-party timetable without confirming on NTES or IRCTC.
- Do not assume the fare table covers DMU or special trains.
- Do not assume a Vande Bharat runs daily.
- Do not forget that arrival times shown on one site may differ from the railway’s.
- Do not plan a tight connection at Miraj.
What Practical Tools Help You Check?
- NTES, the official enquiry system, for running status and timetables.
- IRCTC, for booking reserved tickets.
- A live maps app for getting to the station.
- A note of the train number and the date you plan to travel.
- The railway’s own notices for any cancellations.
