Railways to cut down the role TTEs in alloting vacant berths to passengers in Train.

New Delhi: The 'High-occupancy' traind all over Indian railways which include prominent trains from Lucknow division like superfast Lucknow Mail and Pushpak Express will have a facility in place that will not require passengers 'bargain' over vacent berths aboard the train with the Train Ticket Examiner(TTEs).

Most of the passengers will not deny that 'requesting' a TTE to allot a vacant berth in a train is aharrowing experience.To cut down the role of TTE and make the allotment of vacant berths a transparent process,railways have started giving hand-held machines to TTE's to update the information regarding berths left vacant in a train due to passengers who do not show up.

TTE will have to update the status of vacant berth which gets updated on the hand-held will show in the railways reservation system as well as in the charting of the next station in the route of the train.It will also show at the current reservation counter at the station.Facility will soon be launched in trains from Lucknow division.'This will make allotment of vacant berths a transparent process," said senior divisional commercial manager(DCM) Northern Railways,Lucknow,Ashwini Srivastava.

TTEs will neither be able to hide the information nor extort money  from passengers for alloting vacent berths.TTEs on-board high-occupancy trains will get the machines first. Railways have already conducted trials for the new move in few trains.
