Indian Railways Complaints & Reviews

This is to inform you that I had booked a ticket on 13/06/2014 (PNR NO:[protected]) but after chart preparation I got a message that the ticket has been confirmed as RAC & I was unable to travel because I had to take my family as well. I was trying to cancel the ticket through my login ID but unable to do so as the ticket was not showing in booking history & filing TDR for which I tried to contact customer care to technical help but not able to reach out, for which I shoot a mail to concern party through [IRCTC #4138397] for cancellation of my ticket before 10 hours of the actual departure of the train (02815) for which I was unable to proceed for filing TDR & getting my amount refund. Kindly investigate the issue & help me out on this matter

I am using the Carmelaram station for last 2 years for my travel towards madurai and my return travel. I stay near marathahalli and I used to start around 9.15 PM to reach carmelaram station. If I have to reach Majestic, it will take 2 hours for me. This stage is going to benefit many people who are currently using it. Moreover this also helps in reducing the number of vehicles moving towards Majestic or city limits. Kindly consider our request to have this stage back for the Train Numbers 16236/1623.

Indian railway world largest organisation. So pleased stop to this types of behavioural done by one of normal contractor. I have following complaints. (1)- over chagrin almost double, triple rate . Indian railway given them official rate . 0-12. 05 rs. And 12-24. 10 rs.they are charged to the customer almost double, triple rate ... like 0-12 10rs. And 12-24. 20 rs with printed sleep...
(2)- they are not displayed rate singing board.
(3)- if any arguments they are doing missing patrol from the bike or also done damage bike tyre and tube.
On the above system all the anand railway station staff involved. Like a station master .. parmar sayab, c.m.i sayab. O.s sayab .. they all are involved and motivated to contractor for doing this type of behaviour with indian railway... with this type off system all the customers face the prablem ... please railway administration accepted my prablems and take it some fast action.

Hi, I use to travel frequently from Karmelaram (CRLM) Railway station - Bangalore to Virudhnagar (VPT) in 16236 (Tuticorin Exp), similarly while coming from Virudhunagar in 16235 (Mysore Exp), I use to get down in Karmelaram. Now as per Railway department's new update these trains are not having a stop in Karmelaram railway station. Because of this passengers around Marathahalli, HSR Layout, Sarjapura Road, Whitefiled, BTM Layout, Madivala and etc are forced to travel 20+ KM inside the Bangalore city. As per this Railway department's new update all other Express trains are having a stop as usual except this Tuticorin and Mysore Express. List of expresses having stop in CRLM are following 12677 ERNAKULAM EXP 12678 BANGALORE EXP 16232 MAILADUTURAI EX 16231 MYSORE EXPRESS 16527 YPR CANNANORE E 16528 YESVANTPUR EXP. But I wonder why they removed only Tuticorin / Mysore Express. Tuticorin train usually crosses CRLM station by 10PM-10:30 PM. In this station it stops for only one minute, that will not make any delay in travel. This train can be delayed only because of following two reasons, 1) This train considered as a Passenger train between Bangalore<->Mysore. 2) This train requires engine direction change in ERODE Junction which will take around 1 hour time. Currently in this station boarding passengers may be less because of infrasture of this station, like platforms are under construction, not much light in night time, no toilet, each platform having only four sit-out places. Actually passengers were expected 17235 (Nagercoil exp) / 17236 (Bangalore Exp) also will stop in CRLM. But now no connectivity from CRLM to Madurai/Virudhunagar/Tuticorin/Tirunelveli/Nagarcovil junctions. Please enable the service as usual from CRLM and support passengers. Thanks, Nagarajan. K

My wife and I (both) senior citizens travelled from Ratlam to Mumbai on Train No. 19062. The attendant was not available when we entered the IIAC Compartment. The AC was NOT WORKING and I went in search of the AC mechanic. He said that he was trying to fix the AC. He pointed to the Attendant who was sitting on a seat (No 25) and reading the newspaper. When I requested him for the bedding, he said "Aataa hun" and CONTINUED TO READ THE PAPER. Was very rude in his behavior. He refused clean Blankets and pillows on the grounds that he did not have any extra ones. On the intervention of the AC mechanic, he finally gave me two clean blankets (He said that he had exactly 46 sets + FIVE extra blankets. This is nonsense. He should have bedding sets as per the passengers in the train, getting in at various stations) He only changed the pillow covers as he said that he had no pillows. The only thing new he gave us were the laundered bedsheets and hand towels.
The AC did not work till Mumbai. When I complained to the Ratlam TC who collected Rs. 175/- from me as additional charges. I filed a complaint regarding the AC in his complaint book. He only berated the attendant for being rude and promised me that the AC and the Toilet Flush (which was not working) and the garbage in the compartment would be done by Vadodra. He got down at Vadodra, but nothing changed. The new TC who came in at Vadodra said that nothing could be done about the AC or the Toilet or garbage. He did not seem to care at all! Please institute an enquiry against him.
I do not understand why after collecting HUGE SUMS as ticket fare for II AC travel, the WR still gives the passengers CATTLE CLASS SERVICE. I WANT MY MONEY BACK!

Hello Sir, We have lost my luggage when we got down in Vijayawada. The PNR number is : [protected]. Train NUmber: 17401., Seat number S1 42, S1 44. We have lost one bag which has Venkateswara Swami's photo, One ladie's bag, Kids toys and bangles. Please let me know about Contact name: Ramakrishna Phone NUmber: [protected]

Railway is gone maniac coz of the loss. To make money they have given targets to collect penalty of 3500/- everyday to their employees. To achieve their targets people are forced to pay without their mistakes else they are retained for hours.2 days back I could not get down at malad station due to the conflicts of some ladies in train which caused me to get down at kandivli. alternate option was to jump from the moving train. Inspite of my several pleadings I was retained and was not retured my pass. i am a daily traveller. i even told to cross check if my people are waiting for me in Malad or not. Still the employee asked me to either give him some amount personally or pay full penalty. Shame on railway. Such rudely they manhandle genuine cases as well.

Being accountable in interest of general public i want such case to be strictly inquired to for it forms the initial structure of corruption under a government control audit.

Sir I was traveling from Chennai to Erode on 11 march 2014 in train Number 12695 with confirmed ticket in A1 seat number 1 2 &3. I am a Kidney failure patient, and I was admitted in Railway Hospital in Perambur (Chennai) from 23 September 2013 to 11 march 2014. I am wheelchair dependent and require at least two attender to support me. On the day of my discharge I requested for railway ambulance up to railway Station, and request to pick up us by 1300 hrs. Our train was scheduled to depart by 1525, but the ambulance reached us to pick up by 1420 hrs and it had two other patient for some referral treatment in other hospital due to which we reached railway station by 1500 hrs and my son rushed to collect wheelchair from station, by 1510 I was boarded into the train with the help of train attender and my son. As mentioned early I was in hospital for 8 months, we had few luggage with us to carry, which my wife and son where shifting into train, in mean process there was a checking done RPF on the platform which added further delay, due to which my wife was not able to board the train and this forced my son to pull the chain of the train. After this my son step down to help my wife to board the train and in mean time the same RPF person arrested my son and took over my medical pass and ticket. After explaining the situation also the RPF Did not handover the pass and ticket. They took my son into custody, and he was produced in railway court where he was fined RS 600. As there was no proper query and support done by RPF at the provided Situation, my wife and myself, we travelled from Chennai to arrakonam separately. I was in AC and my wife in ladies coach. The situation was explained to the TT who understood the situation. Our family suffered mental agony due to this. As my son was carrying all cash and card, we were left cashless in the train, and we where helped by co passenger. What is the purpose to chain in the train and what is meaning of emergency? I request you to look into the matter and to refund us rupees 600.

Dear Sir,

I had an e-ticket for my family from Sakleshpur to Yeshwanthpur with train no 16516 (KAWR YPR EXPRES) on May 8 with PNR [protected].

I called the call center 5 times and enquired they replied that the train is scheduled with a delay of 2.30 min and will arrive at 6 o clock. I also send an SMS to 139 and the same information was provided. I checked in your website and it showed the same info.

My family reached the station at 5: 00 pm in heavy rains and were informed by the station master that the train is diverted and wont arrive at the Sakleshpur station.

My family had to again go back in heavy rains.

This is very pathetic service by Indian railways with no information to the passenger of what the status of the train is. And I recieved only partial refund for the e-ticket.

I intend that that action must be taken against the authorities and compensation payed to my family.

Thanks,
Asim
