गोरखपुर। इलेक्ट्रिक ट्रेन से सफर करने में अभी और वक्त लगेगा। लखनऊ से गोरखपुर तक ट्रेन के चलने में कई बाधाएं हैं। बाराबंकी से गोंडा और सीवान से छपरा तक अभी रेलवे ट्रैक्शन का काम पूरा नहीं हो पाया है। जबकि अगस्त में इस रूट पर ट्रेन दौड़ाने का दावा रेल प्रशासन ने किया था। कार्य की प्रगति इतनी धीमी है कि गोरखपुर तक ट्रेन चलने में कम से कम साल भर का वक्त लगेगा। वहीं तीन बिजली के उपकेंद्र बनाए जाने हैं और रेलवे की ओर से कोई पहल ही नहीं की गई है।
बाराबंकी से छपरा तक कुल 424 किलोमीटर इलेक्ट्रिक लाइन बिछाने के लिए वर्ष 2008 में काम शुरू हुआ। मार्च 2012 तक इसे पूरा किया जाना था। मौजूदा हाल में कार्य की प्रगति धीमी है। गोंडा से गोरखपुर और सीवान के बीच अभी कई जगहों पर न बेस तैयार हो पाएं हैं और न ही पोल गाड़े गए हैं। वहीं गोरखपुर, संतकबीरनगर और बस्ती में पांच-पांच एमबीए के उपकेंद्र बनने हैं। रेलवे के प्रपोजल को पूर्वांचल विद्युत वितरण निगम ने हरी झंडी दे दी लेकिन रेलवे की ओर पहल बंद कर दी गई है। नगरीय विद्युत वितरण खंड प्रथम के एक्सईएन एके सिंह का कहना है साल भर पहले ही पांच एमवीए का सबस्टेशन बनाने की योजना को स्वीकृति मिल गई थी लेकिन इसके बाद रेलवे की ओर से कोई पहल नहीं की गई। लाइन खींचने का काम ट्रांसमिशन करेगा और सबस्टेशन रेलवे को ही बनाना है। रेलवे की ओर से कोई पहल नहीं की गई है।

Rajasthan Tourism Development Corporation Limited (RTDC), has introduced an innovative experiment in the world-famous luxury train Palace on Wheels for tourists. A passport size diary is being provided to every travelling tourist on "Place on Wheels". The diary includes traveller's name and photo along with entire trip details (itinerary).

          The Managing Director of RTDC, Shri Vinod Ajmera informed  that the diary would be like a "memento’’ for the tourists travelling in luxury train. Smt. Sneha Bang played an important role to develop this idea of providing diary. Shri Ajmera said that the Mercury Design Company had made this diary like a passport. The R.T.D.C. was planning to include menu and other useful stuff in the diary in future, he added.

          Shri Ajmera also said that main purpose of this passport diary on "Palace on Wheels" was to give a special VVIP identity to the tourists. He said that RTDC was also planning to implement this diary service in super deluxe train ‘ROYAL RAJASTHAN ON WHEELS’, which would be rolled on from October 6, this year.  He said that R.T.D.C. was also planning to propose the tariff of the train in Indian currency so that these royal trains could attract more domestic tourists.

अगर आप टिकट रिजर्व कराने के बाद यात्रा नहीं करते हैं, तो टिकट अपनों को गिफ्ट कर सकते हैं। बस 24 घंटे के पहले बताना होगा और फिर आइडी प्रूफ की कॉपी व एक आवेदन पत्र देना पड़ेगा। खास बात यह है कि बिना टिकट कैंसिल कराए ही इस सुविधा का लाभ मिलेगा। रेलवे बोर्ड ने इसके आदेश जारी कर दिए हैं।
आमतौर पर किसी यात्री द्वारा यात्रा न करने की स्थिति में टिकट को कैंसल कराना पड़ता है। यात्री चाहकर भी किसी दूसरे को अपना टिकट नहीं दे सकता। किसी दूसरे की टिकट पर यात्रा में जुर्माने का भी प्रावधान है। रेलवे सूत्रों के अनुसार अब रेलवे बोर्ड ने टिकट ट्रांसफर के नियमों में थोड़ी छूट दी है। नए नियम के तहत अगर कोई यात्रा स्थगित करता है और उसके बदले परिवार का कोई सदस्य टिकट को अपने नाम ट्रांसफर करा सकता है।
इसके लिए यात्री को चीफ टिकट इंस्पेक्टर को आवेदन देना होगा। इसमें यात्रा करने वाले का नाम व उम्र लिखनी होगी। साथ ही यात्री को राशन कार्ड या फिर आइडी प्रूफ की कॉपी लगानी होगी। इसके बाद यात्री के नाम टिकट जारी हो जाएगा। यह व्यवस्था अगले माह शुरू होने की उम्मीद जताई जा रही है। जनसंपर्क अधिकारी भूपिन्दर ढिल्लन का कहना है कि अभी मुख्यालय के आदेश के अनुसार व्यवस्था लागू होगी।
