Train travel to cost more as Railways plans to levy special fee

Long-distance train travel is likely to cost more for passengers boarding or alighting at redeveloped stations as the Railways is planning to levy a station development fee ranging from ₹10 to ₹50 depending on the class of travel.

The fee is likely to be added to the train tickets during booking. The fee will be levied only after such stations become operational.
