Question for Booking Ticket as per Chain:
as per rule we can book only 120 days advance for a direct train.
What would be the case :where we are availing a First day booking for 'chaing' journey ticket and want to avail 'Telescopic' fare benefit as well.
Here we assume buffer time is '4 hours'. ADI MAS MDU
e.g....
more... I CAN book a ticket for Navjeevan exp 12655: for journey commencing on 14.02.2013 from Ahmedabad
But when I want to apply chain benefit /telescopic fare benefit. the booking plan for connecting chain ADI MAS MDU : booking plans for navjivan 12655 are open Today i.e. 17.10.2012. but for connecting train:Pothigai Express 12661, the booking plan will open only on 18.10.2012. Here gap of one day will sabotage the chances of 'availability' on both trains. Now 'telescopic fare' and 'availability' are both at conflict.
What to do?
Any solution? or just accept Separate ticket and forget the 'Telescopic' benefit.
