Indian Railway introduces Clone Train Scheme to decrease wait-listed tickets

Economic activity is back on track amid Corona’s growing transition. The operations of rail and metro trains are also slowly coming back to normal. Passenger trains have started returning on the tracks. In view of railway passengers, several special trains have announced to run. From September 12, 80 new trains will be run, on which reservation will start from September 10. Meanwhile, a major change is going to happen in the history of railways.

For the first time in Railway’s history, the practice of running a clone train has intensified. Railway has also announced this. The chairman of the Railway Board had said that whenever there is a need for a special train, wherever the waiting list will be long, we will run the clone train after the original train so that passengers can travel there.

If the waiting list in the existing special trains is very high, then another train will be arranged for it. The number of this train will also be the same and it will run one hour after the departure of the main train. Clone trains will also go on the same route and from the same platform. This will benefit those passengers who have waiting tickets so that passengers will reach their destination at almost the same time without any trouble.

Railway Board Chairman VK Yadav informed that from September 12, 80 new trains will run. Reservation for this will start from 10 September. These trains will be in addition to the 230 already running trains. Apart from this, Western Railway will also run 6 pairs of special trains from September 12.
