New Tatkal booking system from July 10th

New guidelines of booking Tatkal guidelines were implemented on Tuesday July 10^th 2012.

The revised scheme entails Tatkal bookings from 10am to 12 noon for only passengers, with no agents being allowed to do so during the two-hour period .People welcome the changes but are requesting for Separate Tatkal counters. 

     The Railways had introduced the measures to check bulk bookings by tours operators that often left passengers high and dry. Railways sources informed there is a provision for a separate counter, due to staffing issues they couldn’t provide that service .We believe this process would be streamlined over a period time.

     Passengers should benefit a lot with these changes. On the other side, spoke to Tour Operator Ramesh. Ramesh said it would have a major impact on their business and they have to plan much in advance for any tour booking. Welcome change considering Passengers are getting benefited. Wish you a Safe and Comfortable Travel from shoutable.blogspot.com.
