Kolhapur to Solapur Train: 22156 at 15:05, the 06:10 Special, Fares and Stops (25 October 2026)

Summarize this blog post with: ChatGPT | Perplexity | Claude | Grok

If you need a Kolhapur to Solapur train, the choice on most days comes down to one afternoon express and, on some days, an early morning special. The listings do not agree on every detail, and one of them showed a date that had already passed in the day. This guide shows what two public listings showed on Sunday, 25 October 2026, points out each conflict and tells you what to confirm before you go.

We are not Indian Railways. We cannot see live running status or seat availability, and nothing here is an official timetable. It is a dated starting point.

This guide covers the Kolhapur-to-Solapur direction only. The return direction has different timings, so do not reuse these.

Key Takeaways

• Both erail.in and ConfirmTkt list 2 trains from Kolhapur (Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj Terminus) to Solapur Junction on 25 October 2026.
• The main train is 22156, the Kolhapur to Kalaburagi superfast express. Both sites list it leaving Kolhapur at 15:05 and reaching Solapur at 20:45, a listed 5 hours 40 minutes, running daily.
• The second train is the special 01451, listed leaving Kolhapur at 06:10 and reaching Solapur at 14:30, a listed 8 hours 20 minutes. ConfirmTkt shows it running every day except Friday. A Central Railway Solapur Division press release, as reported by The Hindu on 15 October 2026, says 01451 and 01452 run five days a week except Tuesdays and Fridays till 15 November. The two do not match, and we did not settle it.
• The fare table on erail for 315 km shows Rs 105 general, Rs 120 second sitting, Rs 210 sleeper and Rs 560 for 3A for an adult.
• ConfirmTkt’s page showed higher prices for the special, and its availability figures were for 25 October, when both departures had already left by the time we read the page. Do not treat those figures as a bookable offer.
• Check the date you plan to travel on the National Train Enquiry System (NTES) or IRCTC before you go.

How Many Trains Run on the Kolhapur to Solapur Train Route?

Two, according to both pages we opened on 25 October 2026. The erail.in Kolhapur to Solapur listing says there are 2 trains between the stations. The ConfirmTkt Kolhapur to Solapur page also says 2 trains, but its daily-trains table says 1 train runs daily, which is the express.

The two statements fit together: one train runs every day and the other does not.

Which Kolhapur to Solapur Train Is the Main Option?

The express, 22156. It is listed as daily, it has second sitting, sleeper and 3A classes on erail, and it covers the distance in the shortest listed time. erail’s route page describes it as an Intercity Express category train owned by Central Railway, with no pantry, and says a superfast fare is applicable. Those are the page’s own statements.

What Is the Kolhapur Solapur Train Timings Table?

Train	Departs Kolhapur	Arrives Solapur	Listed time	Running days shown
22156 Kolhapur to Kalaburagi Superfast Express	15:05	20:45	5h 40m	Daily on both sites
01451 Kolhapur to Kalaburagi Special	06:10	14:30	8h 20m	Except Friday (ConfirmTkt, 25 Oct); except Tuesday and Friday (Solapur Division release, reported 15 Oct)

IRCTC check, retrieved 26 October 2026 at about 1:53 AM IST. We ran the Kolhapur (S C Shahu Mah T) to Solapur search on the IRCTC train search page for Monday 26 October 2026. It listed two trains: 01451 at 06:10, arriving Solapur 14:30, and 22156 at 15:05, arriving Solapur 20:45, both on 26 October. Those times match the table above. Classes shown were Second Sitting, Sleeper and AC 3 Tier. This is one search for one date, so it does not settle the run days that the sites above give, and we did not open IRCTC fares. IRCTC tells travellers to check NTES or its app for the actual time before boarding.

The special takes almost three hours longer for the same distance. A special can run on limited dates, so confirm the date for your journey. The listings call it a special, and we have not seen a notice explaining how long it will run.

Why Is the Name of the Special Different on Two Parts of the Same Page?

The erail page heads the train as “KOP KLBG SPECIAL 01451”, but its question-and-answer text calls the same number “PUNE KRMR SPL (01451)”. The Solapur Division release reported by The Hindu on 15 October 2026 names 01451 as the Kolhapur to Kalaburagi special, which matches the first label. The same report says five extra stops were added (Madha, Mohol, Akalkot Road, Dudhani and Ganagapur Road) and that detailed timings can be checked on the Indian Railways enquiry site, the RailOne app or the NTES app. Search by the number and your travel date on the official enquiry page, and look at the route it shows before you book.

What If You Need to Reach Solapur in the Morning?

Neither listed train arrives before 14:30, the special’s arrival time, and the express reaches Solapur at 20:45. If you need to be in Solapur in the morning, neither listed Kolhapur to Solapur train will do it, and we have not checked other options such as buses or an earlier connection through another station.

What Is the Kolhapur to Solapur Train Fare?

erail’s fare box lists a mail and express fare for a distance of 315 km.

Class	Adult	Child
General	Rs 105	Rs 55
Second sitting (2S)	Rs 120	Rs 70
Sleeper (SL)	Rs 210	Rs 140
3A	Rs 560	Rs 495

Source: erail.in, 25 October 2026. The page calls it a mail and express fare table. Our reading of erail’s route page for 22156 is that a superfast fare applies to that train, so the ticket price for the express could differ from this table, and we cannot say by how much.

ConfirmTkt showed these figures for 22156: 2S Rs 150, sleeper Rs 255 and 3A Rs 635. For the special 01451 it showed sleeper Rs 365 and 3A Rs 985. Its text says Kolhapur to Solapur fares run from Rs 160 to Rs 990, with the lowest price starting at Rs 160, which does not match its own 2S figure of Rs 150. We cannot settle that.

Why Should You Be Careful With the ConfirmTkt Availability Figures?

The page said “Train tickets available on 2 trains from Kolhapur to Solapur for Sun, 25 Oct 2026”. We read it at about 5:46 PM IST on 25 October. The 06:10 special and the 15:05 express had both left Kolhapur by then. So the seat counts and waitlist numbers on that page are not a live view of a train you could still board today. The page may be showing a default or cached view. For your own travel date, check availability on IRCTC or the enquiry service on the day you plan to book.

Which Stops Does the Kolhapur to Solapur Train Make?

erail’s route page for 22156 lists the following stops, with the arrival and departure times shown.

Stop	Arrives	Departs	Distance from Kolhapur
Kolhapur (Shahu Maharaj Terminus)	First	15:05	0 km
Hatkanagale	15:28	15:30	21 km
Jayasingpur	15:44	15:45	36 km
Miraj Junction	16:30	16:45	48 km
Sangola	18:13	18:15	155 km
Pandharpur	18:40	18:45	184 km
Kurduvadi	19:37	19:40	237 km
Solapur Junction	20:45	20:50	315 km

The train then continues to Akalkot Road, Ganagapur Road and Kalaburagi, where the page lists a 22:45 arrival. The page gives 428 km as the total distance to Kalaburagi and 7 hours 40 minutes as the total travel time.

That table is useful if you are not going all the way to Solapur. Miraj Junction, Pandharpur and Kurduvadi are on the path, so a traveller heading to one of them can use the same service. The page shows a 15-minute halt at Miraj Junction, from 16:30 to 16:45.

What Is the Distance for the Kolhapur to Solapur Train?

erail’s fare table uses 315 km, and its route page puts Solapur Junction at 315 km from Kolhapur. ConfirmTkt says the distance is approximately 314 km. Read it as roughly 314 to 315 km by train. We did not check the road distance for this guide.

How Should You Plan a Kolhapur to Solapur Train Trip?

1. Decide which train fits: the 15:05 express for an evening arrival, or the 06:10 special if your date is on a running day.
2. Check the date on the official enquiry page, and confirm the running day for the special.
3. Check availability and the final fare on IRCTC for your date.
4. Plan how you will get to the station and from Solapur Junction to where you are going. An arrival at 20:45 is in the evening, so think about onward transport before you book.
5. Keep your booking details and ID ready.

How Do You Book a Kolhapur to Solapur Train Ticket?

Booking steps are the same as for any reserved train in India, and they work best if you have your details ready. Open IRCTC or an authorised booking app, enter Kolhapur (the terminus is listed as Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj Terminus) and Solapur Junction, and choose your date. Pick the train by its number, 22156 or 01451, so you do not confuse it with another listing. Choose the class, add each passenger’s details as they appear on the ID they will carry, and check the fare shown on the payment page before you pay.

The booking page, not a third-party listing, shows the final fare and the number of seats left for your date. This guide’s fare tables are reference points. If the price on the payment page is higher than the tables, a superfast charge or a special fare category may be the reason, but the payment page is the only place that tells you the exact breakdown.

What Does a Waitlist Mean on a Kolhapur to Solapur Train Ticket?

ConfirmTkt’s snapshot showed waitlist numbers for the express in some classes, such as WL 26 for sleeper and WL 15 for 2S, alongside a 61% chance marker on one of them. We cannot explain how that percentage is calculated, and since the trains had already left it should not be treated as a prediction for any future date. A waitlisted ticket is not a confirmed seat. If you hold one, check its status on IRCTC after the chart is prepared, and do not plan a tight connection around it.

What Else Should You Check Before You Travel?

• The date you plan to travel on NTES or IRCTC, since listings can show a different date from the one you need.
• The running day of the special, since the page’s text and day grid do not match.
• The class you want, since the special and express show different prices on ConfirmTkt.
• The platform on the day, which erail lists as platform 2 for the express at Kolhapur. Platforms can change, so check the board.
• Live running status on the day, for delays.

What Should You Do Next for Your Kolhapur to Solapur Train Trip?

1. Pick the date and the train.
2. Confirm it on NTES.
3. Check availability and the final fare on IRCTC.
4. Plan your transport to the station and onward from Solapur.
5. Recheck the day before you go.
