With the Railway Board deciding to implement optional catering services in place of mandatory catering services on all the 31 Rajdhani/Shatabdi/Duronto Express Trains to passengers booking their tickets by these trains from August 1, the South Central Railway has urged passengers who booked tickets on - Train No. 12219 / 12220 Secunderabad – Lokmanya Tilak Duronto Express & Train No. 12285 / 12286 Secunderabad – Hazrat Nizamuddin Duronto Express to exercise their options. Basing on the option, the catering charges will be included in the ticket fare only in case of passengers who opt for catering services and excluded in case of passengers who do not require catering services. Passengers will not be allowed to change their Options, once exercised, a press release said.
