Travel insurance in air travel flopped decades ago. Why sell it in new bottle? If you have no faith in trains you abandon rails. Instead come out with a honest profit/ loss statement and locate loss making stretches. Express trains avoid stops in such stretches. Now rework the profit/loss sheet by cutting man hours lost and station facility expenses. I think it gives a matter of fact profile. For example a super fast train half empty at the last 100 km can be downgraded and dereserved for that stretch more  

My wife has booked her tcket ONLINE @ IRCTC & the cost includes insurance, but NO Massage has come regarding nomination. Railways seem to be just making fool of citizens with high pitched publicity campaigns. more  

Yes, nomination facility should be available to the passenger at the time of booking itself. Sending link to their mobile and again doing nomination process is mere waste of time and cumbersome too. more
