Eastern Railway suspends retiring room & dormitory services at Howrah station. Howrah is a Grade A+ station under Indian Railways with nearly 958 trains originating from it. People often travel from the northeastern states to Kolkata by air and then take a train from Howrah to locations in the country’s northern, western and southern parts. The retiring room and dormitory facility are of great help to such passengers who wish to spend the night at the station and then board a train the next day. People have an option though. They can book and check into rooms that are available at our lounge, run by the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), within the station premises. These air-conditioned rooms offer modern, hotel-like facilities with a lounge and food court downstairs. With railway stations like Howrah introducing services like 24×7 lounges, with well maintained rooms for families, the era of retiring rooms and dormitories may well be on their way out.
