The railway department of India indulges rigorously in producing new kinds of trains under various categories like locomotives, passenger coaches and wagons. They also implement everything from ticket sales to waiting rooms before boarding. But there is a lot confusion about which train to board, since the train stations are huge both in size and in number.
IT solution to solve rail concerns
To reduce the burden of passengers while finding a particular rail, the railway department has allotted each train station with a code and a name. Yes, that’s right. All the eight thousand odd stations can be identified uniquely now.
The traditional method of train keeping involved a trip to the regional office, to gather all the necessary information. This was tedious and took up a lot of time and patience. So, the railway department came with a smart solution of using technology to their benefit.
An official website is designed for every train station in the major cities. This website consists of details about every rail that will pass through the train station during its journey. You can search for a particular train using its number or you can search for various trains available for a particular date and time. Also, different classes are offered for travel. You get to choose among the many options like sleeper coach, AC coach, etc.
Prior booking of seats is advised if you are going on a vacation. Since the demand is more, you might want to keep a close watch on the availability of seats. A passenger number record is generated after each booking. Keep this for future references.
