tte seat in train

Many a time it happens that passengers urgently need to meet the TTE but don’t end up finding one. The people onboard often panic and look around for the TTE in expectation of solutions to their existing troubles but can’t really find one.

Thus, Indian railways have made certain new arrangements, which can definitely make finding the TTE on the train hassle-free. According to a notification by the Indian Railways, the berth and seat number of TTE and security guards in all categories of trains will be permanently fixed. So instead of wandering and looking for him in every coach on the train one can easily find them in need.

This news could be really helpful to the frequent travelers in Indian Railways. Especially the passengers traveling on RAC categories and waiting tickets can now look for the TTE regarding the availability of passenger seats. Often it has happened that the waiting list passengers had to travel the entirety of their journey without a seat. It becomes very cumbersome on the part of the aggrieved passengers as well as the co-passengers. This is a great initiative taken by the Indian Railways.

Here is where you can find a TTE on the train:

In case you are traveling in Rajdhani and Intercity trains

Along with the Rajdhani and Shatabdi  Express, other Express and Mail trains will also have a fixed berth for the TTE of the respective trains. In every sleeper coach, seat number 7  has been allotted to the TTE of these trains. While if you are traveling on the Intercity train, then seat number 1 of every alternate coach is where you can easily find the official i.e. D1, D3, and D5.
