Cleartrip launches Availability Calendar for Indian Railways trains

Online travel company Cleartrip.com has launched availability calendar for Indian Railways trains. The new feature, which is a part of Cleartrip Trains search and booking service, allows users to check train availability for 15 days with a single search. Search results are colour coded and available dates are highlighted in yellow.

According to the company, Cleartrip Train Calendar provides an indication of availability for a range of dates across trains, so that one could find the best date and train to travel. Once the user has found a suitable date and available train, he can click the link, enter the number of passengers travelling and proceed to search results, reconfirm availability and book.

“Lots of people looking to travel by train aren't very date sensitive -- they are more concerned with getting on the first available train. Train seats sell out fast, so letting users see availability across a range of dates instantly is extremely helpful,” Hrush Bhatt, founder and director, product and strategy, Cleartrip.com, has said. “We think this is a great addition to Cleartrip's train search tools.”
