Hello People,
We are 6 people traveling from BSR to RJT on this train later this month. All the 6 people are on the same ticket and reserved from BSR-RJT
Since I have to meet a friend in Kalyan before boarding this train, i would like to board this train from Kalyan rather than BSR. The other 5 passengers would board the train at BSR itself
This

Buy an open unreserved ticket from Kalyan to BSR and board the train. The berths for the six of you are likely to be vacant. Occupy the same. When TTE comes explain and pay the difference in fare. The TTE will certainly accept the same and there won't be any problem.

It is the right procedure as per railway rules. The TTE is bound to allot the vacant berth up to the station it is vacant. Better and fool proof would be that you can book berth by the same train and class between the desired stations. It is more likely you are allotted one of the six berths. Even if it is not you can occupy your original berth as it would certainly be vacant.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
