In a passenger-friendly move, Railways has also made changes in its system of preparation of chart, which would now be prepared twice. First chart would be prepared four hours prior to departure of a train while second and final one, 30 minutes before the train departs, a senior Railway official said.
According to the revised rules, booking will be allowed on internet and reservation counters for a particular train, even after the preparation of first reservation chart.
