Break Journey should also be permitted by IRCTC. Reservation form may have a column for Journey-from and to and column for reservation from and to. This facility is available in PRS bookings and may also be extended in online booking.

Railways should make mentioning ID card no compulsory at the time of PRS reservation as well as online booking of tickets.ID card no of at least one passenger must be mentioned at the time of booking and this should be checked by TTE in the train. This will help in reducing touts malpractices.

Why should Railways discriminate between e ticket and paper tickets purchased from counters, if the same remains waiting on preparation of chart? Like e tickets, such paper tickets purchased from PRS should also get automatically cancelled after preparation of chart if the ticket is not upgraded to confirm/RAC status.Passengers holding such tickets may be allowed to get refund from any PRS counter or station counters. Some counter can also be made at the platform itself for granting refund to such passengers.If some passenger wants to take a general ticket and refund of only difference amount, that should also be allowed from same counter so that he is not required to go to 2 different counters and join queue.Railway may also consider having a separate general coach for such passengers holding a general ticket (which may be of a different colour) to give them seats.

found traveling with a waitlisted ticket,cancelled automatically, should be considered without ticket and treated accordingly.
This will give relief to passengers with confirmed /RAC tickets and there will no overcrowding in reserved compartments.

    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...
