How to book the Vande Bharat Express train 15 minutes before departure?<\/strong><\/p>\n The Indian Railways has upgraded the Passenger Reservation System (PRS). Passengers can now reserve seats up to 15 minutes before the train departs from their designated boarding station, with available seats displayed in real-time.<\/p>\n Visit the official website of IRCTC at www.irctc.co.in or use the IRCTC Rail Connect app. Until today, you couldn’t reserve a seat at any of the stops along the way once a Vande Bharat train<\/a> departed its starting station. This meant that travellers had no means to board midway, even if there were seats available.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Currently, the new feature is accessible on eight Vande Bharat trains that operate under the Southern Railway (SR) zone, including major routes in Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Karnataka.<\/p>\n
