SMS Alert Service For Waiting Listed Railway Passengers
NOW you will no longer have to dial 139 or visit the rail website to cheek the status of your wait-listed ticket as the railways will now send booking status messages to passengers on mobile phones, if the tickets get confirmed before the journey.
"For the last 10 days the trial was going on and today we formally launched the SMS alert service for all passengers whose wait-listed tickets get confirmed." M mister of State for Railways Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said here. He said everyday about four lakh passengers will get SMS alert on their mobiles about the status of their waitlisted tickets.
The software for the SMS-based service has been developed by CRIS, the technological arm of railways.
"The status of the waitlisted tickets will be communciated through SMS on the passenger mobile phone number given at the time of booking ticket. So now you will get status alert on your mobile once tl»e waitlisted ticket becomes reservation against cancellation (RAC) and also when it gets finally confirmed,' ClKwdhury said. It was a Rail Budget proposal and the Government was a committed to providing it to passengers free of cost, he said after launching the SMS Gateway service.
"Passengers want to know about the status of the ticket and the new service is certainly going to benefit passengers and also help reduce load on the railway website." Railway Member (Traffic) DP Pandey said.
Pandey said not only the status of the ticket, passengers will also get the exact position of the coach and berth number.
"Passengers will get the status alert three hours before with their coach number and berth number."

A number of Indian Railway stations have a system to inform waiting passengers about the status of trains arriving at their station. If an SMS is sent containing the train's name and its arrival time, the message will be delivered to all people on that platform when it arrives. In 2014, this university assignment help australia service was first used in Mumbai Central railway station and has since been implemented in other major stations like Ahmedabad Junction, Delhi Junction, Howrah Station etc.
