IRCTC Special Trains: Indian Railways is introducing the concept of clone trains as an experiment.

IRCTC Special Trains: Big Cheer for Indian Railways Passengers! Indian Railways, led by Piyush Goyal, has decided to introduce another 80 IRCTC special trains from 12 September. Reservations for these new IRCTC special trains will begin on September 10. These new Indian Railways special trains are in addition to the 230 IRCTC special trains already underway. The move comes months after Indian Railways began its first set of IRCTC special trains in May. In May, the national carrier had launched 30 AC IRCTC special train services and in June another 200 IRCTC special train services had been introduced. Since then, Indian Railways has been monitoring the demand and occupancy status of these 230 IRCTC special trains.

The Chairman of the Board of Railways, VK Yadav, during a press conference, said that Indian Railways is monitoring special trains. “We will monitor the special trains and where there is demand for a train or the waiting list is long, we will make a clone train,” Yadav said. According to Indian Railways, it will monitor demand for these 40 pairs of new IRCTC special trains and clone trains will be launched soon. “The stops of the clone trains will be less than those of the IRCTC special train, the idea is to have stops at the main stations so that the clone trains meet the demands of the people,” Yadav said.

The clone train concept is being introduced as an experiment by Indian Railways. If the clone train experiment is successful, it can be used once regular passenger train services resume. The goal is to reduce queues on waiting lists and eventually do away with waiting lists with the help of on-demand trains, added VK Yadav.
