Private train operators allowed to choose halt stations: Indian Railways

Private operators who will be handed over 150 trains to ply on 109 routes by the Railways will have the freedom to choose halt stations of the trains they operate.

They have to submit in advance the list of such intermediate stations where they are proposing halts. The number of such halts of the private trains will not be more than the existing halts of the fastest train of the Railways operating in that route.
