IRCTC web service is a disaster. You would reach peak of your frustration booking tickets online. This low cost server always throws a message 'Unable to retrieve due to communication failure' whenever you search for station codes, check train no.s, check availability you name it. One time it took me almost an hour to book a ticket online. I would have better stood in the line at the reservation counter and bought it at the wrath of officers at the counter who are always rude and impatient. Why are they frustrated to do their own jobs? While booking tickets online 3 times the payment gateways charged the payment but didn't issue me the ticket. I had hell of a time getting the money reversed on my credit card. Looking at this website it seems like public outcry is unheard at the higher level. I've visited many countries and I seldom see bad customer service. The customer service in India is a menace to the society tarnishing the image of our motherland. Will someone take appropriate action? Do you empathize troubles experienced by people. You can name prominent worst service sectors starting with AIRTEL- a tragedy, ICICI, Citibank, IRCTC, Vodafone you name it. Please some one hear us and stop this

in the mail send for tatkal tickets, the cancellation policy is for normal tickets.

why cant it be mention that tatkal tickets cannot be cancelled once 24 hrs is passed. A cancellation button is kept and it cant do a checking and warn the passenger that the refund is zero as it is a tatkal ticket. once a layman user presses it u say ticket is cancelled with 0 refund. i cant even change my decision to continue with the travel as i am not getting any refund by not travelling.
atleast i shud be allowed to travel if there is no refund.

when i rang up railway employee he says travel rules are in some other site and the mail details are not applicable.

pathetic site.

I want to know if I cancel a ticket before the official cancellation of the train, is the railway authorised to deduct the cancellation charges. In view of the recent Gujjar movement I cancelled my ticket from Mumbai to Delhi and got the refund minus the cancellation charges which I complaint to the IRCTC, they said the deducted the amount as per their rules. I want to know whether any such rule does exists. Anyone can send their answers to sharad.[protected]@yahoo.co.in.

i want to know why mumbai local trains in central railways are some of 9 coaches & some of 12 for most of longer distances trains are of 9 coaches . i think so railway officials don't know how to manage or handle the crowd the crowd is increasing day by day but no action is taken only announcements are that today instead of 12 coaches 9 coaches train will arrive its idiotic & improper people in railways .

Best Regards
Deepak B

Day by day its becoming difficult to travel by central railways, especially in Ladies first class. first of all its too small and its just 14 seaters. The trains frequency is not very good, and worst of all the destinations we travel are very far so in the 14 seaters coach we have to stand through out the journey.
Besides there are many railway staff occupying first class when they dont carry the first class pass- neither there are ticket collectors who could check the tickets of thsoe who are non first class travellors. If you do not consider my request i dont mind appraoching news agencies cause day by day its becoming difficult to travel in ladies first class due to increasing first class population.

the new addition of berth in sleeper class between side upper & lower had increase 9 berth in compartment but it is more congested, unhealthier, unadjustable
i request to shri laloo prasad yadav to change this as per earlier
we r ready to pay more but cant able to travel such a inconveient manner for more than 12 to 50 hours
offcouse this is only a funda for increasing profit but plz. think o[censored]s
as we all know in a single compartment more than 50 waiting & non waitng passenger travel with having any seat reserve railway get huge profit from it & also from tatkal seva
i[censored] calculate as per total cost & earning II sleper class get more profit than II & III A/C
at last if railway benefit more by II clase then my u r acting so negitive with middle class people
plz. make possible arrangement & make the 6+2 only

sir,
i have reservered a ticket to kollam kerala for travelling on 06 sep 08, i got the res. status as wl/215 with pnr no.[protected] in kerala expres(2626). i am serving in indian airforce and going home for my marriage on sep 25th.sir please make some arrangement for the passengers during the season of onam...no train is having resrevation vacant, atleast pls attach two more slleper class boggies with the train.

Even tha gang man, Signal man & RPF staff members are sitting even if they don't have authority to sit in First classs compartment, And they are very arregant to the passanger. No Ticket Inspector takes any action against them, they even motivate them to sit in a first class compartment.
It is Kind request to take necessary action against them.

Indian Railways — Worst Service against fare

Hi,
This complaint is regarding the inconvinience caused against the ticket fare. Train no 2135 Pune Nagpur Express. Date 6th October 2008. I boarded the train at Pune for Nagpur with sleeper class reservation. At night around 1230, Manmad station, hundreds of commuters going to nagpur for Mahanirvana occasion (Railways dont charge a single rupee to them for this) intruded into train. They got hold of all passengers as per their wish and occupied berths and seats as per their wish. There was no railway police or ticket checker to stop this. The ticket i booked for 500 bucks for 1 birth was useless i suppose as i had to share the birth with 2 commuters. Later i learnt that AC coaches were safe and given full protection against these commuters. Now my question is after paying a ticket fare, is nt railway responsible for the security or they dont want to interfere in religious matters? If they want to offer free service to commuters, why they dont start a separate train? Why always a middle class passenger is taken for granted?? I have clicked some photographs of the train bogie which looked worst than a general compartment.

This is regarding harassments done by pass holders.
As I was travelling from Howrah to Dhanbad by train 2311(HWH-KLK Mail) the daily passengers ( Pass holders) occupied the entire reservation coach(S9) and harass each and every passenger including me. Their groups also hit individual passengers who were asking for a place to sit on their own reserved berths. Moreover the TTE(P.N.Singh) favored them and arrived for checking after the go down at Burdawan, As this was not a coincidence because I travel every weekend by this train to Dhanbad as the TTE was bribed now this kind of behavior is unbearable. safety must be provided to Individual passengers. Railway must be having some policy to treat pass holders.

its 2 years since i travel to marinelines station on ur western railway mumbai.the toilet on the 4th platform has been water or maintainence during thid period.what is the station master or the concerned authority doing.please take action immediately

I am a regular traveller of 2067/2068 janasatabdi express.During the last few months, I have noticed that this train has been badly maintained. The coaches and toilets are found to be very dirty and many a times cockroaches are found all over the place.Electrical fittings such as lights, fans does not work properly. Many switches are found to be badly fitted which may result in short-circuit etc.
At first when the train was introduced, I found that it ran almost on time. But now, very rarely it is running on time.
Also, I have observed that many passengers are allowed by the TTE without any valid tickets in between Dimapur, Hojai & Lumding stations.The TTEs were complained time to time, they did not respond. Whenever the complain book was asked for, they vanishes from the coach.
A strict action in these regards will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
