Daytime Travel Facility to Unreserved Travellers in Non-AC Sleeper Coaches
W.e.f. 16.04.2015, Zonal Railways have been empowered to declare sleeper class coaches in identified trains as Second Class unreserved Coaches on nominated sections during daytime where the Sleeper class coaches are running empty or in locked condition due to insufficient demand. Second Class fares are charged for travel in such coaches. This facility is in addition to the facility of declaring requisite number of sleeper class coaches as sleeper class unreserved coaches on specific sections during daytime only, where sleeper class fares is charged on actual distance. This information was given by the Minister of State for Railways Shri Manoj Sinha in a written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha today.
