There are many people who go for short distances in the trains. These people find it tough regarding advance booking. Hereafter, the issue would not be there for the short distance travellers in the trains.
It is known that travelling in the trains would be both comfortable and cheap and hence many prefer travelling by trains to their destinations. Information is that beginning from 19th October 2022, in the Chennai Egmore - Kollam Anantapur Express train 2 coaches S10 and S11 would be operated as reserved coaches.
Those persons who have not booked their travel tickets in advance could use these 2 coaches and travel to their destinations. It must be noted that a special fee would be collected from the passengers who travel in these 2 above said coaches.
It was mentioned by the railways department that in the future there would be more such trains with this facility for the sake of short distance travellers without advance booking.
