New Delhi: Minister of Railways Suresh Prabhakar Prabhu has said that Indian Railways' Delhi Division is taking up a project for introducing on-board entertainment on select Shatabdi trains on license fee basis.
He said, depending on the response, the facility will be extended to all Shatabdi trains.
Presenting the Railway Budget 2015-16 in Parliament, Prabhu said, mobile phone charging facilities would be provided in general class coaches and the number of charging facilities would be increased in sleeper class coaches.
"We propose to introduce an SMS alert service to inform passengers in advance the updated arrival and departure time of trains at starting or destination stations," he said.
A centrally managed Railway display network is expected to be introduced in over 2000 stations over the next two years which will aid in providing information on train arrival and departure, reservations, general and emergency messages, said the minister.
