In tirupathi railway station, the water vending machines are not working. There are two wvm on platform no 5. But, no use both are not working. There is a complaint helpline no is given. But no one is responding to the call. It was saying that "all the agents are busy, please wait on the call". The irctc help line no [protected] is given on it. But this number is also does not responding. I have waited for more than 10 minutes on the call, but there are not responding to my phone call. Very poor services are giving by indian railway in tirupathi station. It means also security, basic needs for humans to have in station.

In these thirsty hot wave burning weather when only fresh water can be life saving the water point can serve better for those who can not afford packaging water. Fresh pure and cold water should b availed by everyone but most of the place isinstalled water point are not working this is also true for ghaziabad railway station where people came with empty bottle and went back hopelessly with empty. As an aware and informed citizen i must say that this is very much pathetic condition. Moreover provided toll free number for water point are also not working.

This is to inform you that i have cancelled a train ticket on
12th march 2019 cancellation/refund id : [protected] from
My irctc user id : ramut88
Of booking amount rs.2330, for which i have not received any refund yet.
The refund status in the website shows as refunded on 13th march 2019, but i have not received any amount in my bank account which i have confirmed with my bank officials as well.

Kindly look into the matter and resolve at the earliest as it has already been over 3 months

I have not received my refund of a cancelled ticket from irctc, after my complain they are saying they have refunded my money on 19 april 2019 but still i have not received it.
My bank is saying they have not received any refund and now irctc customer care odes not even response me.
This is very dispointing.
I want my refund asap

Pnr for that ticket is [protected].

I have booked (Online) retiring room for sealdah station for 12 hrs on 31.5.19. After searching for more than 1 hour i could not find any retiring room at the station on 1st june, 19. No one, such as tte, rpf or any other railway staff failed to help me. Care taker of 2nd class waiting room says that there is no such retiring room at the station.
How can it possible?
Please refund my money.

I am travelling first time in rajdhani. Train is from bangalore to delhi (22691). My tickets has been booked by my company and i dont knw whether food is included in the tickets or not. Even on printed ticket it is not mentioned. Moreover catering staff also dont told me about that and keep on serving me the food. At the end they come up and say i have to pay the amount. I said you should have told me about this that food is not included and in reply they rudely said that they dont know about it earlier bt since now they knew it so i have to pay the amount. And at the end i have to pay the amount.
I am very dissatisfied with the service. Even the food they are serving it not something u paid worth for.
Its better that i would not travel in indian railways again

I am aditi and i am travelling on train number 20506, ndls dbrt rajdhani express, pnr number [protected], and today i am writing this email on the behalf of all the passengers on board my coach about the food quality and timings.

When we first boarded the train at 9 am and the journey started at 9:25 am, the water provided to us was boiling hot in the hot delhi water and we were not provided with cold water even after asking for it several times with regular intervals throughout the journey.
Then at around 10:30am they served us a local drink which was barely cold too, then for 1 hour there was nothing, then at around 12 pm a tasteless soup along with breadsticks and butter. No tea or coffee was provided even after asking for several times before 4pm even though i have my diabetic mother with me who's bp was low and needed coffee along with something salty but still we weren't provided with tea or coffee.

Around 1:30 the lunch arrived, jeera rice, yellow dal, matar paneer and paratha, everything was tasteless and of worst quality, we couldn't gulp it down our throats and had to leave all the food as it was provided to us.

At 4 pm we were provided with a sandwich, a kachori and tea/ coffee. The sandwich was the worst sandwich i've ever had! A simple white bread with butter and 4-5 shreds of grated carrots. The kachori too was very oily and of worst quality, the coffee provided was of a brand that i've never heard of and tasted bad, we again had to leave the food and stayed hungry.

At 8:30 pm, we were again provided with soup with was extra tangy and was impossible to drink without any munchies and the dinner was served at 9 pm, till now all the kids are fast asleep waiting for the food, and then the food arrived, again the worst food! Tasteless rice, yellow dal and mix veg, again we left the food untouched because of the tastes and quality.

When we are traveling in rajdhani express we expect and want our food to be edible, hygienic and of good quality because we are paying a good amount to get this food, it is not provided to us for free. Earlier the service from rajdhani was amazing and i am so sorry to say that now it has dropped to being the worst with no quality food, no proper timings for providing the food or considering any requests in the time of need.

If you can't provide us with good and hygenic food then please return our money and don't force us to spend our money on this worst food.

For now i want a refund for this waste and tasteless food.

Hope to get a positive reply solving my concern.

Dear sir,
I who is a senior citizen was helping another senior citizen with his booking to & from ltt to sspn. He is 78 years old and stays alone after having lost his wife, just recovering from depression. The ticket # raised re this issue is 3974750. By mistake due to the unfriendly design of the system senior citizen concession was not applied on the ltt - sspn journey. I am appealing railways to take a humane stand with senior citizens when they do booking & not go by rules book. Kindly persuade them to provide us a with a refund amount after applying the senior citizen concession for this part of the journey. For the sspn-ltt journey we got wiser and got the senior concession. It just needs an empathetic consideration sir! My appeal to them to make the ui more senior citizen friendly is falling on deaf ears.
