No Reservation Needed For These Train Tickets - Know more details


The Railways has decided to withdraw in a phased manner the mandatory reservation facility in the general compartments of mail and express trains. Currently, the reservation norm is applicable to second class general coaches. As per the new directive, the respective Railway
Zones can take a decision on the number of coaches which can be de-reserved.

Travelers won’t need any reservation in second class compartments in 23 special trains. The trains are as follows –

06336, Kollam-Nilambur Road

06325, Nilambur Road – Kottayam

06304, Thiruvananthapuram – Ernakulam

06303, Ernakulam – Thiruvananthapuram

06302, Thiruvananthapuram – Shoranur

06301, Shoranur – Thiruvananthapuram

06308, Kannur-Alappuzha

06307, Alappuzha-Kannur

02628, Thiruvananthapuram – Tiruchirappalli Superfast

06850, Rameswaram – Tiruchirappalli

06849, Tiruchirappalli – Rameswaram

06305, Ernakulam – Kannur

It should be noted that the relaxation would be applicable to trains running services within Kerala and those going to Tamil Nadu, all coming under the ambit of the Southern Railways. At the same time, for the long-distance trains bound for other states, the reservation is still mandatory.

New rule will come into effect from November

The authorities have indicated that the new rule would come into effect by the first week of November.

As the country has started to keep the pandemic on its back, there has been a constant demand for a long time for ending the reservation system in the general compartments of popular trains plying inside Kerala.

It seems that the passengers have had enough with the difficulties faced while reserving tickets and with the many restrictions imposed by the IRCTC website.

Many MPs and various railway passengers’ organizations are now demanding to run more passenger train services and reschedule the train timings to the advantage of passengers.
