Train, Coach Booking – Whether you need to take a wedding procession, go on a pilgrimage or travel with your family and friends on a special occasion, then you need to book not just one or two seats but the entire coach or the entire train. However, very few people know how to book a train coach or an entire train. Yes, under a special facility of the railways, you can now reserve an entire coach or an entire train according to your need and convenience. This facility is no less than a boon for those passengers who want to experience a comfortable and private journey with their loved ones, away from the crowd.
Let us know how you can book an entire train or a coach from the comfort of your home. Booking a coach or the entire train on IRCTC is not done in the same way as you book a normal ticket. For this, the railways have created a special section on the IRCTC website itself. To book a train coach or the entire train, you have to go to www.ftr.irctc.co.in and book under “Full Tariff Rate”. This is a facility introduced by IRCTC for making bookings in large numbers. By going here, you can book the entire train or just one or several coaches. While booking, you should keep some important details ready.
In these details, you will have to tell from where to where you want to travel, how many and which coaches you need like sleeper, AC etc., for how many days tour you are booking and for how many passengers the booking is being done. Based on all this information, you will be shown an estimated fare. Keep all this information ready before booking so that your booking can be completed quickly. While booking the entire train or coach, you will have to pay the stated amount in advance. You will have to pay 100% of this amount at once. Along with this, you will also have to deposit a security deposit.
This security deposit is returned to you after your journey. While booking a train or coach, it is important to remember that the booking should be done at least 30 days in advance. If you want to book a train or coach immediately, then this is not possible. You will have to take at least 30 days time in advance. The coach will have to be booked for at least 1 day.
Also, the list of all the passengers and their identity cards will have to be given to the railways. This process should also be completed before sitting down to make the booking so that your work can be done quickly. By using this facility, you can travel with your entire group in a convenient manner while staying away from the crowd.
