Extending its utility search offerings, Rediff.com, India's leading online portal, today announced the launch of an extremely easy and efficient search service to find seat availability and fares for trains in India. Rediff Trains FareSearch allows users to check availability of seats with fares, check PNR status, get detailed schedule of trains including real-time arrival and departure status by using a simple search engine query. 

Rediff Trains FareSearch service will also offer users a comparative view of the lowest airfare for the chosen rail route within the same search query. For eg: for a rail journey from Mumbai to Delhi, the search engine will give results for available trains for that particular day and also show the lowest airfare available for the same date. This unique feature is introduced to help the users to choose their mode of travel depending on their budget and plan their journey more efficiently and conveniently.

Once the user has confirmed the destination and date of travel, Rediff Trains FareSearch shows all the possible options and details of the journey in just one click.

The Rediff Trains FareSearch data is consistent with the records maintained by Indian Railways. Once the user has finalised the appropriate train and wants to book the tickets, the service gives the users options to book the tickets either through the IRCTC web site or through travel agents whose details are also available on the system.
