Hi
I did a booking (on cleartrip) from howrah to vijayawada with boarding at kharagpur. But the ticket seems to be issued between kharagpur and vijayawada. Now, on the day of journey if i want to board from howrah itself, is it possible? Do i need to just buy the ticket between howrah and kharagpur?
Thanks, Murty

Thanks for information. Sure, I shouldn't have posted the PNR.

I am not sure the purpose of this boarding station. For example if i have a reservation from A to C with boarding at B, then i assume i can board the train at A or B for the same reservation. If i can only board at B, then it is same as buying ticket from B to C. If there is no difference, then why do they even have the concept of boarding station.

I knew the policy but was questioning the purpose of that. I guess this helps in case some where one booked A to C and after booking that they want to board at B without losing the reservation. But specifying the boarding station at the time of booking has no meaning because booking A to C with boarding at B is same as booking B to C. In both cases you can only board at B (unless IR allow you to change the boarding from B to A later on which I doubt if they does). I hope this is clear.

As I was saying, specifying a boarding station AT THE TIME of booking (single train) is ineffective. A to C with boarding at B is same as booking B to C. I hope IR change this rule to allow to board at A or B or any intermediate station as long as the stations are close by (say 50KM or 100KM). This helps in cases where the person is not sure where he will be on the day of journey (A or B) can still use his reservation. This happen to me in the past. Had reservation from Dehradun but ended up at Haridwar. There is no way I could have reached Dehradun in time. Luckily for me they have practice of not checking tickets until Haridwar so it was not allocated to anyone else. Instead IR should allow to specify boarding station where passenger can board any where between. They...
