Every day more than 2.5 crore passengers travel by train in India. Let us tell you that this number of passengers is equal to the population of an entire country like Australia. Passengers traveling by train have the option of traveling in reserved or unreserved coaches. Usually, passengers prefer to travel by train through the reservation, in which they get the facility to travel in an AC coach and sleeper coach.

But many times even after making a reservation, people go into waiting for tickets. They come to know only a few hours before the day of travel whether their ticket is confirmed or not. In such a situation, they have to face great trouble. But now Indian Railways has found a great solution to this! Railways have now decided to make a big change in the rules regarding the waiting list.

Now you will know 24 hours in advance

Indian Railways has now decided to implement a new rule regarding the time of waiting for tickets. Currently, people get to know the status of ticket confirmation 4 hours in advance. But, now this information will be available 24 hours in advance! This is a historical change which will prove to be extremely beneficial for lakhs of passengers.

Let us tell you that the Railways have started this pilot project as a trial run at Bikaner Railway Station in Rajasthan, and it has also been successful. According to the information received from the Railways, it will soon be implemented in the rest of the country as well. This shows that the Railways are making serious efforts for the convenience of the passengers.

Passengers will get enough time to choose the optio

Under the current system, Indian Railways prepares the final chart of the train 4 hours before its departure. This means that if someone’s ticket is on the waiting list for a train, then he does not know till the day of travel whether he will be able to travel on the train or not. In such a situation, the passenger is not able to choose any other option. For example, the option of going by bus or cab is also missed by him, due to which he has to face trouble at the last minute.

But, if confirmation is received from Indian Railways about the waiting ticket 24 hours in advance whether the ticket is confirmed or not, then in such a situation the passengers will have enough time to choose the bus or any other alternative means of travel for the journey.
