Railway Inquiry | Image Resource : firstpost.in
To enquire about the railways one had to go to the station enquiry counter and ask them personally about the train’s status. Since internet arrived, this service of railways has been revolutionised. There is no need to go to the stations and ask about the train. There are several sites managed by the Indian railways which provide this information.
Entering correct information for doing a Railway Inquiry
All one needs is a few details about the train for which they wish to enquire. This includes the name of the train or the train number. After entering this information correctly, website shows the status of the train whether it is running late or on time. There is other railway inquiry which can be done through internet. This includes seats availability and time table.
The information which one needs to enter properly to get the correct timings of the railways includes date of journey, train number, source station code. This information must be entered correctly. Similarly passengers can also check the fares of Indian railways between different routes and different classes of the railways. IRCTC website is also very useful for doing a railway seats inquiry.
To use IRCTC one needs to have a verified account. To verify the account the user must enter his or her correct mobile number and email id. The system generated messages are sent to both email and mobile which the user has to activate in order to verify their IRCTC accounts. Once the account is verified the passenger can book their tickets from anywhere in the world.
