FOREWORD
The issue of resting facilities and other provisions for outstation rest of running staff has
been engaging the attention of Indian Railways time to time as is evident from the number o f
letters and instructions issued on the subject by the Ministry of Railways and Zonal Railways.
Various Railways have taken up several steps to improve the conditions of Running
Room and made provision of various amenities and recreational facilities. Still there is scope of
improvement at various places.
In view of above CAMTECH has prepared this Report on Running Room Facilities
which shall be useful for Railways to improve the running rooms facilities and environment. The
check list will be useful to pride the missing facility.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
OBJECTIVE
To provide clean and quiet resting place for loco crew and guard along with
necessary messing, boarding and recreational facilities round the clock, Railway Board
has issued guidelines to Zonal Railways for implementation.
1.1
1.2
3.
A norm of not more than two beds per room/cubicle should be adopted.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
Lockers should be provided to the running staff for keeping their personal
belongings/valuables.
10.
11.
A Report has been issued by Railway Board with a title High Power Committee to
Review the Duty Hours of Running and Other Safety Related categories of Staff on
August, 2013. Points pertaining to running room facilities are reproduced below for ready
reference:
1.
March 2014
CAMTECH/E/13-14/RRF/1.0
2.
3.
Creation of a separate plan head for safety works including the works for running
room facilities and provision of adequate funds under this plan head. Until the
creation of the aforesaid plan head, works pertaining to running room facilities
should be permitted to be proposed under Traffic facility plan head with
adequate provision of funds.
4.
Increase the powers of General Manager for sanctioning works related to running
rooms so that the proposals need not be sent to Board for approval unless the
value is very high.
5.
6.
Regular monitoring and the compliance of the complaints made in the complaint
register of running rooms must be ensured.
7.
All running rooms should be provided with air conditioning in due course
beginning with running rooms located in humid/ coastal areas, with 100% power
back up arrangements. A phase wise programme may be drawn and within 5
years, all running rooms on IR be provided with air conditioning facilities. Also,
new running rooms may be sanctioned with air conditioning facilities only.
8.
The location for new running rooms should be decided taking into consideration
the noise pollution and air pollution. The proximity of running room to the
booking lobby should also be ensured to the extent possible.
9.
Proper well lit pathways should be provided from Crew lobbies to running
rooms.
10.
11.
12.
13.
Only the fully subsidized meals should be served to the running staff as is the
practice in civil aviation sector. Also, the catering contract should specifically lay
down the condition of preparing one or two extra dishes for running staff on
demand as per his requirement/ choice, on a token payment. For this purpose,
adequate provision of staff, specially the cooking staff, should be made in the
contract.
March 2014
CAMTECH/E/13-14/RRF/1.0
14.
For catering contract in the running rooms for the supply of pre cooked meals at
subsidized rates, the quality standard should be clearly defined in consultation
with a professional/ hotel management/ catering institute. The standard should not
be lower than that prescribed for AC 2- tier passengers in Rajdhani trains.
15.
16.
17.
The selection of the service provider should be on the basis of two packet system
with pre-qualification bid ensuring his professional capability based on past
experience and should financial capacity.
18.
Strict penal clauses should be inbuilt in the contract to ensure that there is no
compromise on quality during the execution of contract.
19.
A bimonthly feedback system should be introduced. Under this system, the staff
can be asked to give feedback on a 5 or 10 point scale and the contract should be
terminated by giving only one chance to the contractor for improving the quality,
if the feedback is not satisfactory. The feedback forms and their collection boxes
should be kept in the lobby instead of running rooms to ensure fair and frank
feedback.
20.
Wherever it is not feasible for the Zonal Railways to outsource the catering
contract due to location or size of the running room, the North Eastern Railway
model of providing the catering facilities through local management committee
may be considered for adoption.
21.
The administration control of running rooms should be with the same authority
which controls the majority of running staff on the division/ area.

NOISE POLLUTION
There are many methods which help to control the noise pollution.
Construction of sound proof rooms for noisy machines in running room.
Use of horns with jarring sounds to be banned.
Proper law should be enforced to check the misuse of loudspeakers and public
announcements systems.
Growing green plants/trees along roadside to reduce noise pollution as they absorb
sound.
The source of noise must be reduced.
Whereever possible the amount of traffic must be reduced near the running room by
planning diversion etc.
The industries must be built away from the running room areas and the legal laws
must be established and observed to protect the humans from noise pollution.
A general awareness programme to educate the people must be done.
