If you also travel by train, then definitely read this news. Many times it happens that you have a confirmed train ticket but suddenly you have to change your travel plan. In such a situation, if someone else wants to travel to the same destination, then you can give him your confirmed ticket. This means any ‘second person’ can travel on your confirmed ticket. This special facility is given to the passengers by the Railways.
Railway passengers get great facilities
During the train journey many times, the problem of confirmed tickets faces the passengers. In such a situation, if someone of your own is getting the confirmed ticket of your destination station cancelled, then you can travel on his ticket. For this, you just have to complete some formalities. Very few passengers are aware of this facility of the Railways.
Who can travel?
If a passenger wants to transfer his confirmed ticket to someone else, then he has to give an application in the form of a request 24 hours before the departure of the train. After this, the new name is put on the ticket as the name of the travelling member. This way, the ticket becomes of the person in whose name it has been transferred.
Apply like this
If you are a government employee and you have to go on duty, you can send the request application 24 hours before the departure of the train. If you have to go to any wedding or festival or function, then you have to send the request application 48 hours before. You can send the request online or offline. This facility is available only once in a lifetime.
