New Delhi: Piyush Goyal-led Indian Railways has decided to run 80 IRCTC special trains from September 12. Booking or reservation for these new IRCTC special trains will start from 10 September. Before these new special trains, Indian Railways is already running 230 IRCTC special trains. Earlier, Indian Railways started IRCTC special trains for the first time in May.
In May, the Railways brought 30 AC IRCTC Special Train Services and 200 Special Train Services in June. Since that time, the Indian Railways has been monitoring the demand for these 230 IRCTC special trains and the number of passengers in it.
Addressing the press conference, Railway Board Chairman VK Yadav said that Indian Railways is monitoring these special trains. Yadav said that they are monitoring these special trains and whenever there is a demand for the train or the waiting list is long, the clones will run the train.
VK Yadav further said that the concept of cloned trains is being introduced as an experiment by the Indian Railways. If the concept of cloned trains is successful, then it can be used once regular passenger train services resume. Its goal is to reduce the queue in the waiting list and finally eliminate the waiting list with the help of trains on demand.
