    The toilets of the train 11097 Poorna Express dated on 6th may 2017 starting from Pune at 11:30 pm were not clean and on lodging the complaint also there wasn't any response taken. mostly all the Sleeper coaches were having the issues of not clean and stinky toilets. When we lodged the complaints the response was that there is no one available for cleaning the van.

      I was travelling in Amritsar shatabdi today from to sirhind. I was supposed to get breakfast in train but personal in train didn't give me breakfast saying that we don't provide food till sirhind. Even on reporting this incident to TT, he didn't agree to provide food. Infact he demanded money from me taking me aside.
      Is this how railway is working, why fare of shatabdi is so much if only corruption is going to happen in it.
      I am really very upset on this and I want refund in this and proper action against that personal.

      My ticket is :
      PNR:[protected], TRAIN:12014, DOJ:07-05-17, CC, ASR-SIR, Dep:05:00,
      RavinderPal Sing+1 C14 19, C14 18,
      Fare:1230.0, SC:0.0+PG+INS

      Person who ask for bribe was *shis Kumar and mohan bhatt. I was not able to see proper name of person as his card was inside the pocket.

              I am trying to booking tatkal ticket on my mobile using mobile data. But it's showing error that only two tickets will book per IP between 10 to 12. But as I am using my mobile data and my user ID. It's highly impossible to get that error as I am using my mobile. And my mobile has unique IP. And there is no chance o[censored]sing my IP anyone. Please solve this

                    Respected sir/madam,

                    I was booking a railway ticket from sealdah to jalpaiguri road station using my irctc mobile app, but i was not successful. Later i got a mail from my bank saying 683.87 rs have been deducted from my account by irctc although the ticket was not booked. Later again i had to book tickets via desktop website in which i was successful.
                    I tried calling irctc's helpline number in order to get a refund for my previous failed booking but there is no response.

                    Please help me.

                    Regards,

                        Blankets provided were dirty. No towels provided. On asking told that no towels are provided in this coach. Pathetic situatation. Not at all happy. I have faith in the services which seems to be shattered by the response of onboard staff and their rude behaviour. Do we have to expect such below par services everytime we book in train??

                          On the 3rd of May, I tried to book a ticket from Chennai to Bangalore. Due to some issue on either the bank's end or IRCTC's end, the transaction "failed" therefore the ticket was not booked, yet my money was deducted. After calling IRCTC's 3 phone numbers multiple times, the assured me that they could see that my money was indeed deducted and the ticket was not booked, they would refund the money to me. It has been 4 days, I have no complaint number and the money hasn't been refunded to me either. How long am I expected to keep calling them, asking for my money, especially when they don't even answer the phone call for hours together?

                          These are my details:

                                I have been trying to updaet my new number in my IRCTC profile but each time I try I get a message saying the number is already in use. I am unable to use the money lying in my IRCTC wallet and this amounts to incomplete information/fraud. Kindly help me update my new number or transfer the wallet money back to the bank account it came from.

                                      One ticket of 3ac bearing pnr no. [protected] in himgiri express (12332) has been booked by me on 26.04.2017 through my credit card under tatkal for travelling on 29.04.2017 at 01.45 am (Night) from patna jn. To howrah jn.

                                      I reached patna jn at 01.00 am on 29.04.2017 to board the train but it is notified by patna jn enquiry room and lcd display that the train himgiri express (12332) has been delayed by 14 hours and may come at patna jn at 03.45 pm on 29.04.2017, which has been also confirmed by the official of enquiry room.

                                      Then i have decided for not travelling with himgiri express (12332) on 29.04.2017 because the train will come at patna jn delayed with 14 hours and filed tdr at 02.36 am on 29.04.2017 through irctcapp.

                                      Today, i enquired through the irctc website about the status of tdr and refund of money, i found that tdr status-cr repudiate. Reason for tdr registration failed-invalid tdr timestmap: delay.

                                      The reason shown is wrong and i am eligible for getting the refund of ticked for ticket tdr filed. I would request you to please look in to the matter for refund of money at the earliest.

                                      Thanks and regards

                                        I find that the berth no. And coach number have not been given - these are normally given. Don't know why these have not been provided.
                                        What is rqwl?
                                        I had by mistake opted for travel insurance.
                                        Pl. Clarify the coach number and seat number as i have to tell my wife the details. Your immediate advice requested.
                                        Thanks.
