Bengaluru: Train passengers can now book both reserved and unreserved tickets, track live train status, check PNR updates, find coach positions, place food orders, register complaints and manage refunds — all within one app.
The railways has launched 'RailOne', an all-in-one mobile application that integrates multiple railway services into a single digital platform. It combines the features of IRCTC Rail Connect, UTS on Mobile, NTES, Rail Madad and Food on Track apps.
"Whether you're planning a long-distance journey or a daily commute, RailOne is designed to simplify every step of your travel," the South Western Railway (SWR) said.
Existing users of IRCTC and UTS on Mobile App can log in directly using their current credentials, with no need for separate registration.
RailOne is integrated with R-Wallet, the in-house digital payment system of the Indian Railways, which offers a 3% discount on unreserved tickets booked through the app, with payments authenticated via biometric or mPIN. RailOne can be downloaded on Google Play Store and App Store, the SWR said.
Coach augmentation
Train numbers 22883/22884 Puri–Yeshwantpur-Puri Garib Rath Weekly Express will get one more AC 3-Tier Economy coach, effective from August 1 from Puri and August 2 from Yeshwantpur. Its total coach composition will increase to 18.
