Sub: Utilisation of vac.ant accommodation
in Shatabdi
Express
Trains.
.
. With a view to optimizing.utilisation of available accommodationof
Shatabdi Express trains, the issue regarding booking of vacant accommodation
after preparation of reservation charts in the trains has been examined and it has
been decided as under:-
a) Where accommodation is available at the train originating station after
preparation of reservation charts and there is no waiting list at the next
remote location, the vacant accoInmodation should be made available
for booking
at the current counter(s)/satellite location(s) of train
originating station upto a prescribed time before departure of train. The
time to be prescribed will be decided by Zonal Railways depending upon
the distance of platform from the chart preparation centre. Before
departure. of
train
the
supplementary
charts
having
details
of
reservation/cancellation made after preparation of reservation charts will
be taken out and handed over to TS/Dy. TS of the train.
b) If the waiting list at remote location is more than vacant accommodation
available at train originating station, waiting list will still be there at the
next remote location even after updating the status against the vacant
accommodation available at train originating station. In such cases, the
resultant vacant accommodation between originating station and next
.remote.lOcationshouldbe madeavailablefor bookingat cU1Tentcounter
of train originating station and there will be no accommodation to be
transferred
to
the
n.earest remote
before
departure
of
train.
Supplementary charts of resultant accommodation booked during the
intermediate period and cancellation, if any, which took. place. will be
handed over to on-board ticket checking staff.
c) After preparation. Of the supplementary charts or at the time of the
scheduled
departure
of the train whichever
is
later, the
vacant
accommodation, if any, shOuldeither update.the status of Waiting list at
next remote(s) or should be transferred to the next remote location, for
booking at current counter(s)/satellite location(s).
d) The above logic should be extended to successive remote locations in a
similar manner.

f)
Zonal Railways should defi9-t:;,~dditional remote locations to derive
maximum benefit of the scheme.
g) This scheme will be implemented on an experimental basis fora period'
of one year on all Shatabdi Express trains.
h)
Zonal Railways should conduct a quarterly review to assess the impact
and the outcome of the scheme on utilisation/earnings and, send the
feedback to Board's office.
2.
Zonal Railway may also examine the feasibility of reducing the
',. reservationquota at the originatingstationand transferthe same to the remote
where there is more demand, if the utilisation so warrants.
This should
however, be resorted to only.after .thoroughstudy so as to ensure that there is no
negative
impact
of this move,;
