I have booked a ticket from jharsuguda to vijayawada on 25.03.2017 by train no.18189. This train leaves jharsuguda station at 20:50hrs. Following is the message received from irctc.

"pnr:[protected], train:18189, doj:25-03-17, 2a, jsg-bza, dep:20:50, srinivasarao, a2 24, fare:3915, sc:0.0+pg+ins"

I have arrived at jharsuguda station 20 mts. Prior to departure time of the train no. 18189. As i didn't find the train with this no. For one hour after the scheduled time i have enquired with the enquiry counter where i was informed that train no.13351 is same as 18189 and it had already left. Because of the wrong message from irctc i have missed the train. Hence i may be reimbursed the total amount of rs.3915/- and necessary correction made to avoid any inconvenience to the passengers in future.

In ticket charge they collecting super fast charge but the train neither arriving nor departing at right time.

I had bitter experience in traveling on 23/04/2017 the train actually schedule on 22:20 from BNC but arrived on 00:30 and reached the CBE by next day 09:45am.

There is no meaning in collecting the super fast charge.

Dear Sir / Mam,

I am trying to book Tatkal tickets from my personal IRCTC ID, but error is coming which says "You are Permitted only 2 transactions between 8 AM to 10 AM per IP address/user ID"

Surprisingly the error statement is completely wrong as i have not booked 2 tickets between 8 to 10 even not within a week.

This is happening for all the users which i have discussed with. Kindly resolve at the earliest as this is only benefiting the agents and normal public is suffering.

Regards,
Tatya

Booked a ticket from ksr bengaluru city upto chennai central railway station on 1st may 2017 by chennai mail. Received a message. Just few hours prior to the train departure from ksr bengaluru city that the train has been cancelled on 1st may 2017 and has been rescheduled to 2nd may 2017 0600 hours.

Train no 12658 scheduled to leave from ksr bengaluru at 22:40 hrs on[protected] is rescheduled to leave at 06:00 hrs on[protected]

Due to this, we had to change all our personal priorities as we could not find the seat availability in any other alternative mode of transportation to chennai on monday 1st may 2017 night. Need railways to compensate for the delay causing mental agony, stress and disappointment to myself and my family.

As I was travelling in South East Railways, I found out that the standards of catering service is very poor, the staff does not disclose the proper rate charts or menu, they do not respond well to inquiries for the same, the food item is sold in the station outlets at a price more than the printed MRP, they do not provide a proper printed bill for the food items ordered. In case of inquiring about proof of rate like menu or bill, the staff starts behaving rudely

An amount of rs.555.0 was deducted from my bank account for booking of train ticket of my son nelson hijam (Age-16years) for train no.12839, sleeper class; journey date:[protected] from howrah station to vijaywada station. For debiting the amount from my bank account in favour of the railway/ irctc the transaction reference sent by the bank is ref no icabfpoer4 for rs.555.0 on 30 apr-17 21:32. But inspite of such deduction and payment to irctc no information for booking of the ticket is received.
So it is requested to send the confirmation message of booking ticket or otherwise refund my money immediately.
Yours faithfully

Sir/Mam
I have tried to book my tatkal ticket from Nasik Road to Malkapur of Train CSTM AMI EXPRESS 12111 on date 01/04/17 at 11.12 am. Through IRCTC OFFICIAL APP.

Second Sleeper ticket charges of Rs. 415+ service charge= total 423.59 has been debited from account successfully.
But I didn't get any type of tatkal ticket though there are availability of seats at that time.
I sincerity request you either issue me said ticket today or return my Rs. 423.59.
I'll wait for today.
Tomorrow I'll file charges against Rail Department, Related Officials in Consumer Forum and forward same to Hon. Min. Suresh Prabhu.
As I have proof of amount deducted through IRCTC Online ticketing.

Waiting for positive reply..

I tried to book two Tatkal tickets on 01/05/2017 on Matsyagandha Express (12619) from Thane to Surathkal amounting to Rs. 1350. Even though Rs. 1361.50 (ticket amount + charges) was debited from my bank account, i didnt get any tickets. This is the 2nd time in 2 years that Railways has taken my hard earned money without bothering to give me tickets. This is utter robbery. Kindly give me my money back at the earliest.

The journey is started and even one night is just over but the availability of sufficient water is not there. Neither water filled nor the dustbins cleared. Even the same is brought notice to many tc which is seriously not attended. There many kids who are there in the compartment everybody suffering without water. If this is not related in another half an hour or the coming station at krishnarayapuram then we will pull the chain and stop the train.
