I am writing in this because my frustration level has gone out of my control.

Now a days i feel that india railway is a *.

1. We dont have enough trains between main stations. (Pune to patna)
2. If i am booking a tatkal ticket from irctc than its equivalent to engage myself in a war.
3. Instead of waiting irctc railway ticket, i have to take a general ticket and have to request tt for the help.

Help of tt: he will charge approx double the normal reservation amount, and also will not provide any confirm seat.

To be exact, suppose normal reservation ticket is rs 1800, i booked a ticket from irctc which remained waiting will cost rs 200 deduction from my refund amount.

Now if it is an emergency and my friends are going in the same train, and if i take a general ticket and asked for the help from tt, tt chnaged 2800 above the general ticket i. E. 395.

So the total cost i have to pay to travel in 3 ac without seat = 395 + 200 + 2800 = rs 3395. And the fair of 3 ac is 1800.

If this is monitored, please forward my frustration to upper department of railway.

I really want to have any alternative for india rail.

Modi ji.. Kuck to karo.. Bahut badai kar li railway minister ke kaam ki..

This is our actual pain area, why irctc waiting ticket gets cancel aoutomatically? To pay to railway fine that too approx rs. 1000.

Mr railway minister, it is very hard to earn rs 1000 and you take fine for rs 1000 for nothing. Either you dont allow people to enter with the waiting ticket, or remove the fine, or provide a confirm seat if you are charging this much.

I dont want to use any abusing language other at this platform, i hope you can understand my frustation level from the above statements.

        Sir, last night my reservation was from Bhopal to chhindwara in train no 14624 in 2AC, My seat was confirmed it was A1 40, but suddenly at last night I got a msg that my 2nd AC ticket was demote in 3rd AC. When I asked with TTE for refund of difference amount he told that 'there is no refund by Indian railway, its a new policy of Indian railway for looting the Indian peoples.
        Sir I am just asking about the refund and what is the new policy for demote the seats??

Kindly refund my ticket.

              I travelled in sultanpur express and ahmedabad -varanasi express there was no cleaning of coaches. There was dust all over the seats and below the seats. The windows were not clean and toilet was also not cleaned.
              I expect that proper actions will be taken by government. I would like if there will be proper cleanliness as train is lifeline of country.

                As the train departure became late for more than 10 hours (This i came to learn after reaching on plaform only). So i cancelled the ticket at international tourist bureau new delhi railway station on 23.2.17 at 22.30 hours. Refund was made to my debit card at the same time.

                As no payment came into my account even after 8 days, i revisited international tourist bureau on 3.3.17 who directed me to assistant commercial manager located at the station complex. I complained and submitted the same to him.

                  This is hirdesh sihare, deputy director

                  My father & sister is travelling from gwalior to hazart nizzamuddin delhi dated 3/6/2017 in swarn jayatee train having train no. 12803.

                  My sister has got reservation from above source to destination in coach s5 seat no 21 and my father could not get reservation due to some reason and took ticket for general boggy,
                  In midway my father went to visit my sisters seat just for the safety and security reason, is everything is fine (As we are aware of that many incidents are happening with passengers while travelling for example recently incident happened with my bhabhi ji, luggage including mobile and some ornaments cost of rs. 30-35 thousand looted by someone while travelling in indian railways).
                  So, my father went and checked, everything is fine, in mean while tte visited there and ask my father to produce the ticket for reservation boggy and then my father conveyed complete story to the tte and made sure, he will go back to his seat but tte didnt listen and forcibly charged penalty of rs. 350/- from my father.

                  Please let me know
                  1. Visting to a reservation boggy for checking purpose, is everything is fine with family members is wrong, really he has done some mistakes, really he is guilty, where this kind of penalty is mentioned in any rule book or in any indian railway documents.

                  2. I checked the status of train, if seats are available and lying vacant then why difference was not made and charged.

                  3. After charging rs. 350/- why particular seat was not allotted
                  4. My father is senior citizen, he was charged and misbehaved by tte why?
                  5. As government is announcing facilities to the senior citizen and also announcing rate cut in tickets but i am socked, what kind of treatment is being given to the senior citizen passengers in indian railways

                  Therefore, you are kindly requested to look into the matter and my amount may please be refunded
                  And strong action may please be taken against the tte belongs to coach s5 train no 12803 swarn jayanti or i would say he must be terminated immediately from his services

                  With regards

                          With great respect i am writing a letter to you with the hope that i will get help from you. My brother was coming from lumding to dimapur by special train, when the train arrives my brother was just getting down and one fellow was rushing into train even though people were saying not to get into before all the passengers get down. But the fellow start beating my brother infront of all the crowd and there was not even a singe railway police was there to help my brother. I know all the railway station has camera and i want the footage of the incident. It happened around 6:30 pm 2nd june 2017. Sir, it is my kind request to take action on this. The guy was wearing white shirt. I have never though that dimapur raiway police staff will be on sleeping mode. I want a strong action on this. As my brother could not able to take the pic of that fellow. I called to mr. Lalthara (Chief secretary of nagaland railway board) and i was explaining im about the incident, he was laughing on the call and he disconnected the call. How a railway authority can show this kind of behaviour to the citizen where he is public servant. Please find the camera footage and catch that fellow and take strong action on this.

                                If i buy 1 half ticket for my 6 year old son, no # was allotted to him. But when i buy 2 half tickets for my 6 year old son and 7 year old daughter, then also i have got no seat for them. This is absurd.

                                Since i had paid full amount of 1 seat, i should get 1 separate seat for my children.

                                Even if any one buy single half ticket for an 11 year old boy/girl, then also they got no seat.

                                What the railway think. How do they travel with no seat.

                                Do railway really analysis the decision they are going to make.

                                I don't think so.
