Booking Railway Tickets Has Become Simpler Than You Think

It is finally that time of the year when the vacations have set in. My board exams have gotten over so my entire family has decided to enjoy a beautiful trip somewhere in the mountains. My grandpa had been insisting for quite some time to go to Manali so my dad, mom, my little sister and I decided to plan a family vacation in the city of valleys. My grandfather is a heart patient and the doctor has advised him not to travel in the aeroplanes so consequently, we had to all travel via trains. I think travelling by train much more fun than travelling on a flight. Yes, I know aeroplane would be much faster to reach but when you have a wonderful group of people around you, then nobody can do justice to the amazing train travel.

Since my father is a working professional, he really did not have the time to personally go and book the train tickets for our vacation. In order to do the train enquiry, my grandfather visited an agent, but his rates were a little higher than our budget. So one of my close family friends suggested that we book the train online, and consequently, in my free time, I started surfing the Indian rail service booking to check the IRCTC Railway Ticket Booking so that my family could do the train booking online. After I started browsing the website, I realized that it is very convenient for any kind of train enquiry as well as railway enquiry. The website offered a consolidated list of the entire IRCTC train schedule. If you wish to travel anywhere using the Indian railways, then you should definitely try this train reservation online. The best about this online railway ticket booking is that it entirely eliminates the need to use a middleman, such as the agent, and if there is no agent, you do not have to shell out a single extra penny for your railway ticket.

In this fast-paced world, people rarely have the time to go and stand in those long railway ticket booking queues. My grandfather used to tell me that during his time, when people wanted to travel, they had to personally go and visit the railway reservation office every time they had to inquire about the train availability, train ticket availability, train berth availability among other things. And since we had to travel for a good couple of days on the train, it was even essential for us to inquire about the food that was going to be made available during our journey. Now the whole train ticket booking has been shifted online, so in order to check the IRCTC availability, we scouted for the IRCTC train availability on the website itself. We also checked the railway timetable, Indian train status, IRCTC availability as well as the current train running status.

Often times it used to occur in the previous days when the trains used to run late and people had to spend hours on the railway platform, which got pretty inconvenient and exhausting for people. But these days, with the Indian railways embarking their journey into the new digital world, things have become pretty simple and manageable for the common man. The government has introduced a train tickets booking app for our greater convenience. You can easily go ahead and do an Indian railway ticket booking using the app. If you are in a situation where you are already at the platform waiting for the train and you need to know a live train status or the PNR status of the train, then you can do so using the online website.

I think this is the most convenient thing that the government of India has done for us. With the help of the website, you can check so many things about your journey no matter where you are located; you can check the train running status live. The website is open for any kind of Indian railway enquiry that you might have in your head. Other important things that you check online for your travel plans include the seat availability as well the train status. So while we were waiting on the platform waiting for the train, I made sure to check PNR status as well as the IRCTC PNR status.

The online website will also help you with any kind of IRCTC train enquiry. My family is not a very large one but there are certain groups that are huge in number and may require a whole boogie for their travel. So for such purposes, you can always check the IRCTC seat availability, the train seat availability or any other Indian railway seat availability for your desired convenience. Online train ticket booking is a very simple thing to do. It is much more conducive than what people did in the earlier days for Indian railways booking. So, even if you are new to this whole online booking, do not shy away because IRCTC ticket booking, Indian railway reservation and the railway reservation seat availability is a very easy thing to do.

Good luck!
