MUMBAI: The long distance trains will restore its regular train numbers next few days as things turn back to normalcy gradually, officials said.
Railways’ Passenger Reservation System (PRS) will be shut down for six hours during the lean business hours of the night for next seven days, said Central Railway chief spokesperson Shivaji Sutar.
“This is to enable upgradation of system data and updating of new train numbers etc. Since huge amount of past (old train numbers) and current passenger booking data are to be updated in all Mail/ Express trains, this is being planned in a series of carefully calibrated steps and implemented during night hours,” he said.
