Bhubaneswar, 29th February 2012:
Passengers travelling on the train on a short notice may use the facility of Current Reservation Counter situated at the train originating main stations. The vacant reserved seats/berths available on train after preparation of reservation charts can be booked at the Current Ticket Booking Counters of the train originating stations upto a specified time before departure of trains to avoid unscrupulous elements.
East Coast Railway appeals passengers to create further awareness about this facility as due to lack of adequate awareness, it is misused by unscrupulous elements/ intermediaries for providing confirmed accommodation to passengers at a premium by using the current counter facility.
It may be mentioned that, a reserved ticket can be booked across the Passenger Reservation System counters all over the country as well as through internet only up to the time of preparation of reservation charts. After preparation of reservation charts, the berths/seats available, if any, can be booked at the current counter available at the major stations. The reservation charts are normally prepared 3 to 4 hours before the scheduled departure of the train. In case of trains leaving early morning, the charts are prepared on the previous night.
