New Delhi: The Indian Railways has resumed booking of Tatkal tickets for all 230 special trains from June 29.

Tatkal bookings were done on Monday for trains starting from Tuesday. Tatkal tickets are booked a day before the train journey after 10 am for AC seats and after 11 am for sleeper class seats.

The service was suspended in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Railways had also stopped running passenger, mail and express trains during the nationwide lockdown from March 25.

Last month, the Railways had resumed 30-day advance booking at railway station reservation counters for running the 200 pairs of special trains.

The special trains running at present would continue to operate after July 1 as in an earlier announcement, the Railways had cancelled all regular trains scheduled between July 1 and August 12.

A Ministry spokesperson had earlier said the advance reservation period for the 30 Special Rajdhani and 200 special mail and express trains had been increased from 30 days to 120 days.
