Indian Railways.

The increase in reservation period will enable better planning. But this will bring more difficulty to those who travel at short notice. Hence, in addition to reserved coaches, there should be more unreserved coaches for those who have to travel at short notice owing to emergencies. There is no alternative to increasing sitting capacity in trains.

I think this will decrease to 2 month.but it will increase to 4 months.Who know what happen after 4 month.Now a situation comes when all seats are full even 1 month before.this will increases the problem of passengers.who are very much of needs a seat in last moment.

Railways must concentrate on general bogies. SO there wont be any problem for people who has unplanned travel.

Yes it is right.After four months anything may be happened.But you have to book in four months ago,It may be cancelled.

When there is no general bogies people will face a lot of problems but railways is not concentrating on this.

As told by Guslshan ji its right that long duration for reservation will cause a problem for those who need immediate travelling.

By taking these kind of steps Indian railways increases the problem for passengers.They must give focus on solving problem.on general compartments.Even many passengers does not able to sit.

I am sure this move is going to prove a bad one in place of helping the cause of passengers. Longer the time available, people try to take advantage of the facility in both ways, good and bad, more bad rather than good. I would prefer it to be 30 days at the most to avoid unwanted use of this facility.

Yes Sunil you are right.It must be restricted to around 1 or 1and half years this may reduce the problem that is facing by passenger at the end of last month.

There will be no misuse if there is proper identification of the passengers and middlemen removed. The passengers have to pay reservation charges and fare at the time of reservation itself. So, they are not likely to misuse this.

If the railway authority go according to what they have said.......the problem may be solved......but the thing is they would increase the no. of days but would not take appropriate measure to increase the boggie as revealed by them..........

This is good decision by railway dept. This has both bad and good things. I think if railwax dept make more general compartments then it will be very useful for frequent travelers.

Thats a great news, Ok as they have reduced time period of thathkal but this is a good decision taken by them

One more news......now everyone would have to show their Id proof while travelling by train......This has been done to take care of the malpractices by the agents to sell their tickets....

While trevelling by train we should keep our original ID proof. This is a nice step taken.
