Railways’ reservation system to be shut down for 6 hrs from Nov 14 to 21

The Railways’ Passenger Reservation System will shut down for six hours during the lean business hours of night for the next seven days, as part of the national transporter’s efforts to normalise passenger services and revert back to pre-covid times in a phased manner.

The step is to enable upgradation of system data, new train numbers and other work, the railway ministry said on Sunday.

“Since a huge amount of past (old train numbers) and current passenger booking data is to be updated in all mail/express trains, this is being planned in a series of carefully calibrated steps and implemented during night hours in order to minimise the impact on ticketing services.
