IRCTC: Details Of 200 Trains That Will Run From June 1; Bookings Started

Bookings for the special 200 trains that will start running from June 1, have already started from May 21. If you have been waiting to get hold of a ticket, hurry now. No tatkal and premium tatkal booking permitted in these trains.

It has been reported that there is a delay in reserving train tickets at this time, with the railways blaming Cyclone Amphan. The same is being attempted once more. "Firing of trains is a time-consuming exercise and it means actual loading of all information on train journey, its booking parameters, etc., and this is done simultaneously from both the originating zone and terminating zone," a railway official said. The firing from that end is anticipated to be affected for some time because of the cyclonic circumstances in the East.

People have been battling to get home while the nation is under lockdown, particularly migrants and those who are stranded in various places for various reasons. As previously mentioned, the government announced a number of relaxations when India entered lockdown phase four in order to help people get home safely. Therefore The Indian Railways said that it would begin operating these 200 special trains on June 1 in a similar vein. Many people who were eagerly awaiting the resume of train services have been able to grin as a result of the government gradually easing restrictions.

These trains will be in addition to the already started shramik special trains and air-conditioned special trains. Now, in order to reserve a seat in one of these trains, which will begin running again on June 1, one must do it online using a mobile app or by going to the IRCTC website. There will be both AC and non-AC classes, and prices will be standard. Bookings for these trains have begun as of today, according to the most recent news reports.
