The train tickets can only be booked online, as the booking counters at railway stations remain closed. All these trains will only have AC coaches to start with, and the fares would be similar to that of Rajdhani Express trains. This initiative has come as the third phase of national lockdown in India is coming to an end.
Indian Railways also plans to run up to 1500 Shramik special trains to ferry stranded migrants across the nations. These trains would have only Sleeper coaches and will have up to 3 stoppages between the journey, that too in the destination state.
