Services: trains listed in the timetable (not all run every day); buses a day for the bus. Time is the fastest scheduled train and the typical bus, station to station. Flight time is shown as the air time plus 3h 50m: about 50m by road to DED, 2h at the airport before departure, 30m from landing to the exit, and about 30m from CCU into Kolkata. Those are our assumptions, not airline rules; the air time is on each flight card. CO₂ is an estimate per person (the car per car) from distance × published UK government (DESNZ/DEFRA) factors, which are not India-specific. Factors checked .
