This tip is for travelling(in bus) between SHM-SDAH-SHM:
From Sealdah Bus Stand(the one near Big Baazar and opposite NRS Medical College and at the foot of the flyover), there are two buses which take you near Shalimar. They are:
1. Rajarhat-Nabanna(Private Bus): This is a blue colored private bus and can be found more frequently than the next bus I am about to mention. This bus takes the route via Rabindra Sadan and then the second bridge and terminates at Nabanna. However, the disadvantage is that Nabanna is a bit far...

2. Sealdah-B.Garden: This is a small white colored bus which is your best bet for reaching SHM. Be careful however as this bus is not as frequent and so, you might have to wait. Board this bus and get down at a stoppage known as Shalimar 3 no gate(you can see the tracks leading to SHM from this stoppage) and then follow the tracks for a walk of about 5 mins and you will reach the station. The fare is around Rs 12-15(can't remember accurately) for one person.
EDIT: The estimated travelling time for each of these buses depends on the traffic present on the road. If you are travelling during office hours then I would suggest you keep some time at hand as travelling may take well between an hour and a half to 2 hours due to traffic. In other non-office hours, travel time will be much shorter and depending and you can reach SHM in about an hour.

1. Rajarhat-Nabanna(Private Bus): This is a blue-colored private bus and you can find it more easily than the other bus I'm going to talk about. This bus goes through Rabindra Sadan and the second bridge and stops at Nabanna. The only problem is that Nabanna is a bit far from SHM, so you gotta take a battery-operated e-rickshaw or a cycle rickshaw if you got a lot of luggage and that can be annoying. So, I suggest you keep this option as the last resort. You'll have to pay Rs. 10 per person (the price might have gone up).
2. Sealdah-B.Garden: This is a small white-colored bus that's your best bet for getting to SHM. But be careful, this bus is not as common, so you might have to wait. Get on this bus and get off at a stop known as...

Sealdah Bus Stand (big bazaar ke paas wala aur NRS Medical College ke samne aur flyover ke paon mein), yahaan se Shalimar ke paas le jane wale do bus hain:
1. Rajarhat-Nabanna (Private Bus): Ye ek blue rang ka private bus hai aur agle bus se zyada milta hai. Ye bus Rabindra Sadan ke zariye jaati hai aur phir doosre pul tak pahunchti hai aur Nabanna mein khatam hoti hai. Par, nuksan ye hai ki Nabanna SHM se thoda door hai isliye tumhe ya to battery operated e-rickshaw ya normal cycle rickshaw lena padega jo bhaari ho sakta hai agar tumhare paas bahut saara samaan hai. Isliye main kehta hoon ki is option ko akhiri pe tikana. Kiraya ek vyakti ke liye Rs 10 hai (shayad badh gaya hoga).
2. Sealdah-B.Garden: Ye ek chhoti white rang ki bus hai jo SHM tak pahunchne ke liye tumhara best option hai. Par dhyan dein kyunki ye bus itni baar nahi aati hai isliye tumhe thoda intezaar karna pad sakta hai. Is bus mein chadh jao aur utar jao ek stoppage par jo Shalimar 3 no gate ke naam se jaana jaata hai (tum ye stoppage se SHM tak ja rahe rail ki patriyon ko dekh sakte ho) aur phir patriyon ke peeche chal kar karib 5 minute mein station pahunch jaoge. Kiraya ek vyakti ke liye karib Rs 12-15 hai (sahi se yaad nahi).
EDIT: Har ek bus ke liye anumanit safar karne ka samay sadak par mojood traffic par nirbhar karta hai. Agar tum daftar ke kaamke waqt safar kar rahe ho to main kahoonga ki tum kuch waqt bacha kar rakho kyunki traffic ke karan safar mein ek se dedh ghante tak lag sakta hai. Dusri samay par, safar samay bahut chhota hoga aur aap SHM tak karib ek ghante mein pahunch sakte ho.
