Charting in Railways

Train charts are prepared based on departure times from stations and quotas. Charts can be done anytime after reservations are suspended, which is generally 4 hours before departure or 8 PM, whichever is earlier. For trains departing by noon, reservations close the previous day. Charting ranges from 4-16 hours in advance for overnight trains and 4-22 hours for Sunday/holidays. Yet some VIP trains may have charting as late as 50 minutes before departure. Charts can include legs to stations with different quotas if availability allowed from the origin.

Charts are prepared on the basis of departure time from the stations to which the Reservation Quota
pertains. A train has multiple charting based on different Quota provided for the train.
The phenomena are basically as follows:
1. Reservations are suspended in general before 4 hours of departure of the train from the station where
the operative quota is charted or 08:00 PM (Sunday or specific holidays 02:00 PM) which ever is earlier.
2. For the trains departing on a day up to 12:00 noon, reservations are suspended on the reservations
closing hours of the preceding day.
3. This suspension is for the public at large and Supervisors have authority to go onissuing for VIPs.
4. And hence, charting can be done anytime after reservations are suspended. Accordingly for non
important trains, charting is done more or less 4 hours before the departure time for trains operating
from 12:01 noon to 11:59 midnight.
5. For trains operating beyond 11:59 midnight to 12:00 noon, charting is done anytime after 08:00 PM
and hence it can range from 4 hrs. to 16 hrs. in advance.
6. In case of a Sunday or a specific Holiday, this advance period may range from 4 Hrs. to 22 hrs.
7. Yet, charting for the trains which have much VIP inclination is quite delayed and is witnessed even
before 50 minutes only.
8. A charting for a station enroute to which a different quota applies, can still be done from the
originating station of the train if the required leg (journey span) was available to the origin.
