At present, waitlisted passengers do not know their status till the preparation of chart, which is normally done only about four hours before train departure. This time is considered too short for a person to finalize his journey plans. Therefore, continuous updation of the waiting list will now be made possible through suitable modifications in the passenger reservation system. The Railway Budget for 2005-2006 which was presented by the Railway Minister Shri Lalu Prasad in the Lok Sabha today further stipulates that along with the reservation chart, it is proposed to display vacancy position charts in all reserved coaches and on the platform so that waitlisted passengers can have information about vacant berths in various legs of journeys which will further enable transparency in their allotment. Wherever possible, this data would be linked to the current booking counters, so that vacant berths can be released.
