Hyderabad: The Secunderabad Railway Station got a new temporary booking office with 10 booking counters on Tuesday. The temporary office is part of the plan to redevelop the railway station to offer world-class amenities with a modern touch.
The booking office has been built near the exit gate, close to the parcel office near Gate No. 5 on the north side of the station. It will replace the existing nine counters near Gate No.3.
Facilities like the sale of unreserved tickets, platform tickets, renewal of seasonal passes and enquiry counters will be available. Four automatic ticket vending machines have been installed, and these numbers will further increase. Passengers can also continue to book tickets using the UTS app.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi set the foundation stone for the construction of a new railway station in April 2023.
The new railway station building is likely to come up near the north side and will feature multilevel car parking and a two-level sky concourse.
