I have booked ticket from srikakulam to yaswanthpur and return also. I booked on 21st may 2017 to travel on[protected]Pnr [protected]) and[protected]Pnr [protected]). Both are wait listed 3, 4. After one month i checked in indianrail.gov.in its confirmed. When i start to travel on 7-7-2017 before 30 minutes i checked it then its wait list 2. I think this is my fault. I cant check clearly. Again retrun ticket also same. Because i checked it in erail. Info/in website at 9-7-2017 afternoon 12clock that time its showing confirmed (Attached screen shot also please check). Again i checked it at 2.30 pm then its waiting list. What happend. I ask in yaswanthpur railway station in current reservation center he told we are not responsible for irctc tickets. No relation to irctc and railway booking center. Please beware on booking irctc tickets and better confirm only www.indianrail.gov.in website and screenshot must.

My luggage was theft from trishatabdi express travelling to nagpur from habibganj station in bhopal. There is no guard in train for which i can go n complaint. Train no. 12913. Can anybody tell me what should i do. I m a doctor n luggage was of my machine n equipments. Its very costly. Shame on indian railways the guard must be there it was his duty. Kindly resolve my problem asap

I have to board train 14163 sangam express which moves from allhabad to dehradun, howsoever on the previous day when i checked the map of this train i was fabergasted, my boarding station (Moradabad) and unboarding station both weren't there on its map, the train's last station is meerut, but i have a e-ticket which have the same train number which drops me to dehradun. Later i got to know train which inherit my demand has the no. 14113 which i guess is another train because its route map is entirely different from the former train.
Moreover this link express to dehradun has a nose of getting late everytime, i urge indian railways to check when did this train even departed at time from the source station because it is always late train. This is a daily passenger train, just imagine the amount of trouble it leads on getting late adding it gets late everyday.
Please take care and help to build a strong network instead of recruiting bribe tempting hooligans appoint educated and well deserving staff and being an indian i know our country have them.

I tried to book a ticket for rail journey on[protected] at 20:31 under premium tatkal quota. Even though my account was debited and i received a confirmation therefor, i neither received the ticket i sought for nor the amount of rs.745/- debited from my account by my banker state bank of india refunded to me. I reproduce the message i received from my banker in this regard:
"thank you for using state bank internet banking. Your txn ref no, igabquyyl6 for rs.745/- on 15th july 2017

Pls find the attachment of the failed ticket screenshot. Sir i have booked a ticket through irctc app. The transaction failed due to some reasons & hence my amount has debited from the a/c. Also the ticket is showing as not booked status & payment was showing under process status. On next day the amount got deducted & the payment process got failed. Almost 5 days have already passed since this incident. Please refund my amount of 377 (Service charges included) at earliest. Hoping to see u soon from your side.

I am travelling in rajdhani express 12951 dated 15/7/2017 from mumbai to new delhi the food quality is really bad, most of the passengers are frustrated due to this. Food is just not in eatable condition. Who will be answerable if it will cause some health.in daal there is just water and paneer is very hard no one knows how old this food might be. Please look into this issue because this might create really bad impression on travellers of indian railways

This ranchi express starting from lokmanya tilak terminus is the dirtiest train ever. Such a fowl smell in the coach. Even the birth is chewed up by the rats. Please get coaches renuvated.in tatkal we've spent rs. 2425 which seems a complete waste of money. The train hasn't been provided with any air fresheners too. No cleaning has been done. Ltt is the starting station and still the train is as filthy as ever. Never would i again travel by this express. Seems more like a punishment.
The curtains, the floor, the toilets... One worse than the other. Seats are stained. Blankets look ancient and dusty. Smell so so bad.
The most pathetic journey i'm ever going to have.
Never travel by this ranchi express.

Birth preference was lower birth for 2 senior citizens aged 70 and 61 (Female).
But after payment both have been given confirmed upper birth tickets.
This is done when there were 16 tickets available for the train.
It seems a deliberate attempt to harass senior citizens.
Please consider this complaint seriously and make arrangements asap to change it to lower birth.

Attached are 2 screenshots-
1. E-ticket showing the birth allotted.
2. Booking details showing the actual birth preference.

Transaction I'd:[protected]

I have traveled with pnr no [protected] on 2nd july 2017 in rajendra nagar rajdhani (12310) exp. Food quality of night meal was too poor to eat. I made a protest against the incident with catering in charge and demanded the complaint book. But he didn't provide with some excuses. At that time i have taken a little portion of food but the next day i suffered from diarrhea.
So i need compensation for it. If compensation is not possible then make sure that such type of incidence should not be repeated in future.
Thank you.

On 14th july 2017 i am trying to get a tatkal ticket from irctc website at 11 am, when i login with my id and password the a dialouge page open and "unable to connect to any locators in the list [ngetrsch03. Cris.org.in/10.78.1.173:50101, ngetrsch01. Cris.org.in/10.78.1.171:50101]" it is written on this can you please suggest what is this for and how can it be solved
Thank you if you could solve this problem

I am an agent of irctc. Irctc gives different booking time for agent but did not allow different seats for agent.
Irctc did not prevent corruption in tatkal booking. Using unauthorised software book tatkal ticket more than two. Where as govt. Restrict personal user book only two ticket in a day.
I want to reserve tatkal booking seats for agents in every train ac and non ac. So that the every govt. Authorised agent can book tatkal tickets. At present we the agents depend on personal user to book tickets. But if govt. Gives license to the agent to book tickets then why they do partiality to the agent.
I attached here a ticket photo where it is clear that in this personal id book 4 tickets but govt restrict 2 tickets per id in a day. Then how it is possible to book 4 tickets in a id. Because the use no govt id, they use unauthorised software to book tickets.
I have personal id but i can not book tatkal tickets after 30 times booking. So why we use personal id.
I want solution here. Reserve some tatkal seats for agent. And if any personal id book more than two tickets irctc website have the power to automatically disconnect the id.
Thank you

Its all about our indian railways and my experience about this.
Train no. : 22851 maq-vivek express
Where i boarded from bhubaneswar to visakhapatnam, travel duration 6hrs
Believe me or not the discomfort you experience having a reservation ticket in this train is hell too much and getting a lower birth is kinnda a nightmare and lot about choosing security and sleep as this train is completely filled with non ticket holders or the people without any reservations laying kind of occupied on the floor and all the seats with more than two person per seat. And the results? The bathroom has a #### queue for going in :3 i had a pathetic experience in this train.
I have attached some pictures well this is just of my seat and hope you can imagine of the whole coach and train :3
