Anyone can tell me about tatkal reservation? answer at www.tatkalrailwayreservation.com
in tatkal reservation is only source to destination means end to end ?? or any station to to destinatio? or any station to any station?
in the indian railway website they told to any station to any station means not necessary to end to end reservation...
but in the other site railway(for online we can book- www.irctc.co.in) they say end to end reservation.
so i am confused
ans:
 you can book tatkal from any station to any station means not necessary to end to end, or any major station to any station. example
Matsyagandha express travels from mangalore to mumbai via madgaon (goa). you can book in tatkal from Goa to mumbai in the same train which has a stoppage of 10 mins (since it is a major station).
well i did that last week to and fro hassle free...
