PNR Status Enquiry reduces headache before journey

Remember the times when a train booking was followed by months of worry as total lack of organization meant the passengers remained clueless about the status of their ticket and reservation? Well, that is now a thing of the past as PNR Status Enquiry has made life easy for passengers. Passenger Name Record or in short, PNR, works in tandem with the computer reservation system of the railways and thus creates a record that is unique for every passenger, that can be used as a reference number in future to collect information like the status of the reservation- whether the ticket has been confirmed or subject to waiting or reservation against cancellation.
Passenger amenities have improved ever since carriers have started to integrate technical innovations in their services. The concept of the PNR was commercially made use of by airlines, and since then, Indian railways have managed to incorporate it as a medium to provide passengers with information, faster. The success of PNR Status Enquiry depends on access of information. With web access made easy, as well as the scope of ticket status checking made on mobile phones, travelers can now depend on this mechanism as a viable option to eliminate their worry when it comes to reservation. Essentially these ten digits can go a long way in facilitating train travel, completely revolutionizing the idea of a hassle free journey. A real initiative by the Indian railways to bring order over its huge network of trains, passengers, reservations and reservation related enquiries.
