Railway Minister Suresh Prabhakar Prabhu informed the Rajya Sabha today that instructions have been issued for running of special trains having separate fare structure. These trains are programmed, scheduled and advertised as fully reserved trains to be run for special occasions like Summer Holidays and festivals. <br/><br/>Giving this information in a written reply, the Minister said the Advance Reservation Period of these trains varies between 10 and 60 days. Outlining some salient features of the trains, Mr Prabhu said the fare structure is on the pattern of Mail/Express trains. <br/><br/>The tickets are issued for actual distance of travel, subject to the distance restriction applicable to the train. No concession/pre-bought booking is allowed in these special trains and there is no separate Tatkal quota. The Minister said these services have already become operational in May this year.
