i am thinking to take a retiring room/dormitory bed at New Jalpaiguri before boarding the Shatabdi at 5:30 am. So do I need to to book the room before 5:30pm on the previous day? Isn't this min 12hrs rule too much?
Yes.But,New Jalpaiguri is not listed,as of now.Pls check list at /blog/post/1001038 Booking facility might be provided to other stations,in future.No idea. Thanks
You can book retiring room even with wl tickets or even if u dont intend to travel by train. The solution is simple. Book a 2nd class very short distance confirmed ticket, pref passenger train and use it for retiring room booking. Min reservation fare would be rs 20 + irctc service charge if booked online.
