The Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) has come up with a new initiative to ease the ticketing process of the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway (DHR) toy train, recognised by the Unesco as a world heritage mountain railway.
According to railway sources, the DHR has joined hands with digital wallet company Paytm to launch a QR code-based ticketing system.
“The system has been in¬troduced on November 2 and anybody intending to take a ride on the toy train can simply purchase digital tickets through the Paytm app. It enables commuters to book tickets without being physically present on the railway station, increasing their convenience,” said a source in NFR.
