So. after reserving for a specific express train journey, the Indian Railways is set to introduce a new facility of changing the boarding station during the last few hours before the departure of the train.

There may be occasions when one cannot board at the particular railway station according to the reservations carried out! With this facility, such passengers can carry out the changes in their reserved tickets to board at a different station.

No additional charges are there to avail this facility. In the present system, the place of boarding can be changed 24 hours before the departure of the train. Now, the facility is available to make this change of boarding till 4 hours before the departure of the train booked.

For this, visit the IRCTC website. Go to the booking history. The list of stations will appear. Select the station where the changed boarding will be done. Further, the boarding station can be changed even by dialing 139 and informing!

Another method is to visit the reservation counters, submit an application and getting it registered.`
