But Rates Branching System also saying the same distance and it is the most reliable source of info....as all the FOIS(Freight Operation Information System),UTS(Unreserved Ticketing System) & PRS(Passenger Reservation System) Systems under Indian Railways solely rely upon the data provided by RBS for calculation of distance b/w any pair of stations....
Yes I do agree that data provided by IRI cant be relied upon & found to be untrue many of the times...but not this time.
