Hi delegates,

I was traveling in a local train from howrah to medinipur at 5.20pm on 22.06.2018. The facts are listed bellow,
1. The number of trains are very less upon number of passenger.
2. Train gets delayed and delayed with no announcement.
3. The train i travelling with is in worst conditions. Like - i. Fans are not working.in my coach only 11 out of 22 are in running condition. Ii. Lights are also in same condition. Most of them are totally in off condition.
So, my question is where all the passenger's money are going. Is that mean that we are not a part of humans.in such a summer season if a fully filled train coach runs without fans what will be the effect to the passengers.

It is really really unacceptable condition dear sir/ madam.

I am worried about the old persons and ladies that how tough it would be for them. It can be a deadly situation for any passenger.

Please, look in to this matter if any humanity left in you.

Thank you.

We boarded in doon express from haridwar (17/6/2018), we reach at haridwar station on time, and our seats are in sleeper coach in s9 from haridwar to howrah, when train are reach haridwar station the train has coach from s1 to s6 and ac coaches are there, it was announced the from s7 to s12 will be attached from infront of engine, and haridwar station is full of crowded, but when the coached are attach the general class ticket people are climbing the sleeper coach without having reservation tickets, there was no police and no tc are there to maintain the suitation, many general tickets passengers are jam the gate of train so that the reservation class passengers are not able to climb the train, that crowd stay upto lucknow, from haridwar to gaya jn there has no tc and no police in coaches, indian railways doesn, t have any security.

MY OBSERVATIONS, GRIVEIANCES AND SUGGESTION ON BETA VERSION OF IRCTC NEWLY LAUNCHED WEBSITE:
I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN OF 66 YEARS OF AGE AND RETIRED. I AM NOT A TECH SAVY PERSON AND USE COMPUTER FOR NORMAL REQUIREMENT OF MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
My suggestions are:
A. Restrict the captcha to one time,
B. Allot even number of berths in each coach for senior citizens/eligible woman passengers avoiding split of passengers,
C. Do not effect payment if preferred berths are not allotted which attract more work with refund issue for both
My explanations of the above are enumerated below:
While booking of tickets in the new website of IRCTC I observe certain areas which, in my opinion, are to be taken care of:
1) CAPTCHA :
There are three (3)areas where one has to fill the captcha to book tickets:
a) First, at the time of login,
b) Second, at the time of booking, and
c) Third, at the time of payment.
By these, what you want to prevent?-- Restricting agents or people who are booking their own tickets? Agents, Cyber cafe people are mostly young generation who are well conversant in computer and first in typing and they can complete the process much faster than general public and senior citizens like us. Moreover, what captcha prevent is not clear to me. Still, if this is to be used it should be only at the payment page to prevent hacking of customers deta.
2) ALLOCATION OF BERTH FOR SENIOR CITIZENS AND ELIGIBLE LADY TRAVELLERS ( IN ODD NUMBER IN ONE COACH):
Earlier, this facility was given to the passenger of above category when travelling alone. Presently, this has been done away with and maximum two (2) passengers ticket can be booked under the above category . Here, lies my observation. So far my knowledge goes, presently, three (3) berths are allotted in each coach of 3rd AC and 2nd AC. Why this is so? Why not even number of berths allotted in a coach instead of odd number. When, you are giving this facility to two(2) passengers then there is all possibility that a pair of passenger will be allocated in split coach. This actually happened to me in recent 2/3 travels and last time I have to negotiate with a passenger requesting his upper side berth (3AC) in exchange of my lower berth to accommodate me to my wife's coach as both o[censored]s are not in good state of health. This also happened in booking of tickets of one of my relatives. They are 72 years and 66 years age couple and has been allotted in two different coaches.
My suggestion is please allot all the berths in one coach under this category or at least even number of berths in one coach so that there is no instance of split coach allotment.
3) EFFECT OF PAYMENT WITHOUT PREFERRED BERTH:
At the time of booking, some preferences are appeared in booking screen: i.e. i] book if all tickets are confirmed, ii) if, at least, two lower berths are allotted, iii) if, at least, one berth is allotted in lower berth etc .
After, clicking any of these, again one screen appears " DO YOU WANT PROCEED WITHOUT THESE" CLICK YES OR NO. If no is clicked and any of these conditions are not fulfilled the passenger will come to know only after making payment. So far my knowledge goes, this is different in case of counter booking and online booking. In railway booking counter, if the preference are not fulfilled the gentleman in the booking counter generally ask whether he should proceed or not. This facility should be at per with counter booking system. Passenger should take decision before making payment. With the present system passenger has to follow up with the refund and many a times no information of refund comes.

I request you to go through with the above and make necessary changes in your website so that people gets benefit from this.
Thanks and regards,

Sir,
Today (21/6/2018) we boarded to a train from mathura to indore... Our seats 62 (Ul) and 64 (Su) were reserved in coach s10... We were on time to board the train however when we got to our seats, the person on seat no. 63 was asleep... We kindly asked him to sit up and leave the seat for my mother to sit... He opened his eyes and told us to sit anywhere else since he wanted to sleep and closed his eyes again... My father kindly asked him again to sit but he didn't respond... At last he sat up but after creating a nuisance.
I hereby wish that a notice type thing should be placed near the seat nos. Stating the legal sleeping time, to nullify further similar cases.

Hi,

In spite of one of the busiest station in bengaluru, krishnarajapuram railway station lacks basic amenities such as wheelchair ramp or lift to disabled and elderly people for platform #2 and platform #3.

With small stations such as katpadi junction having the ramp, escalator and lift for elderly.

Request to take steps to build wheelchair ramp and lift immediately.

Regards...

Hello team,

I've booked my bike (Passion plus, pb09 h 4706) from new delhi on 17/06/2018 and loaded it in train no. 12556 on 18/06/2018, from new delhi to basti. But basti they were not unloaded because stop for 3 minutes only, so it went to gorakhpur railway station. At gorakhpur again they not unloaded because of purely negligence of railway department now it's went to bhiwani station. It was expected bike will unloaded to gorakhpur railway station on 19/06/2018 and come to basti in ljn intercity 12531 as 12556 is superfast and 12531 some how slow train. I always used my bike to go my duty but without bike i'm facing lot of problem. I went many times in the railway parcel department but they are not taking any action even they're also not taking any complain please kindly requested to find the parcel and send to basti

Hi sir my name is tulsiram. I booked a ticket from udaipur to nizamuddin but due to bad health of my small brother we boarded our train from kota junction. Mend my mom boarded train mewar express on 19/06/2018 from kota station. When we reached our seat we found some other persons sitting there and they told us that the seat was given them by a tc. When we contacted him he told that our seat is cancelled because we didn't boarded from udaipur and asked us to get out of the train. However we manage to travel just sitting on a seat corner. Sir we want a proper action to be taken against that tc. Sir the tc refused to tell us the name of himself and instead told do whatever you want

Dear sir/madam,

I along with my colleague was scheduled to board the 12001 ndls shatabdi express from morena station on 19th june 2018. We were present on the platform on the scheduled date from morena when the train arrived 20 minutes late. However. We were shocked to see that the doors of the coaches were shut from inside and we tried to bang at the doors of many coaches as well as tried to run and see if any coach door was open.in the limited time of two minutes that the train stops there, we could cover 5- 6 coaches but none of the doors were opened. We missed the train.

We went and explained our situation and asked for help of station manager of morena railway station but he could not help us. This can be verified from him immediately otherwise it may be erased from his memory.

As a woman, i not only had to undertake a very risky road journey in the night in a private taxi because, i had to somehow reach delhi for which i had actually got myself in one of the premium trains of indin railways.

I request you to not only refund the money charged against the ticket of me n my colleague, mr. Adesh sah but also compensate us for the expenditure incurred and the trauma and inconvenience that we had to face for no fault of ours.

I will be most grateful to you for a prompt resolution of my complaint.
