A steady and reliable organization, running in the country for years, and continuing in the same manner have to be none other than the Indian Railways . Serving its people for so many years with complete effort for the passenger satisfaction and doing much more even today to suit their needs, this organization is indeed the pride of the nation. From strenuous booking procedures to easy home services, the Indian Railways reservation has come a long way.
In the early days, during the introductory days until lately, all ticket bookings have been manual, with a representative sitting at the ticket-issuing counter. Such ticket counters were open in most important stations and localities close to the prime stations in a city. People had to stand in queues for long hours and wait until their turn arrived. Upon arrival of their turn, they would speak directly to the representative and give the required journey details to book their tickets.
Many years later, with the booming of technology and computer systems, ticket issuing became easier and computerized. This was a very organized system; however, the queues were still present. However, with the advent of technology and Internet, these queues also came to a standstill for good.
It was during the last few years that Indian Railways reservation of tickets became an easy affair with the help of online booking. Now everyone could book their tickets on a desired date of travel, sitting in their homes in front of their computer systems. Thus, the expansion of Indian Railways is commendable.
