Good Tips for Better Train Travel

  • Two hours before your leave: Keep all your travel papers (tickets) in an easy to carry pouch. A waist pouch is well suited to carry important papers.
  • Leave on time: Do keep in mind that every one is heading for a holiday and there may be traffic jams. Beat the traffic woes by leaving for the railway station early.
  • No confirmed Tickets: If your train tickets are not confirmed till the time you leave for the station, it is good to store the PNR number in your mobile. Ask a friend, who has easy access to the Internet to update you on the latest status.
  • Railway Enquiry: Important contact numbers of Indian Railways - 131, 139. If using mobile phone, dial area code followed by the number. For e.g. 011-139 (for Delhi).
  • Do confirm if your train offers food on board. If not carry your own stuff to keep hunger pangs at bay.
  • Train Info on the Move: Just dial 139 xxxxxxxxxx (10 digit PNR number) and 139 xxxx (4 digit train number) to get the ticket and train status immediately.
