train tickets

This move by IRCTC aims to encourage people that buy tickets off the Railway Reservation Counters to move to online medium.

In a passenger friendly move, Indian Railway will now allow ticket bookings 30 minutes prior to the departure of a train. The move will not just enable passengers to travel in emergency situations and be better informed but also eliminate illegal ticketing activities.

Passengers without confirmed train tickets may soon have an alternative — they may use the same wait listed ticket to board another train plying on the same route.
