Southern Railway Complaints & Reviews

Dear Sir / Madam,

I do not think this complaint has been taken seriously by respective team in SR. Why should general public who pay 4 times extra than general class ticket suffer for this kind o[censored]nauthorised travellers occupying First Class.
This problem still exists in Arakonam - Central, Thiruvallur - Central, Thirutani - Central routes trains.

But I've noticed Chennai - Tambaram route has proper checking but not here, are you afraid of these people even you have railway police forces!
Request your kind attention to resolve this issue.

Thanks,
Sasikumar K

OH, HORRIBLE RESERVATION SYSTEM; WE POOR INDIANS STILL BELIEVE IN OUR RAILWAY RESERVATION 'FACILITY'

On a fairly long tour of South India with my family, I travelled from Rameswaram to Cape Kanyakumari on 10th October 2013 (my wedding anniversary day) on a Tatkal ticket as the tickets I have booked earlier online were wait-listed. Even after producing the Tatkal ticket and the coloured photo identification, I was charged by the ticket examiner on the train with Rs.1, 755/- on the plea that it was a ticket-less travel I was undertaking since the original Id proof was not produced. Please go through my points of contention and be kind towards the genuine concerns of a honest tax payer. I had to cut short our long tour and return home for want of finances. 1. If no Id proof in original is produced, I can understand the levy of penalty. But, collecting the ticket fare again (once while booking the Tatkal ticket and again by the Examiner) is unjust and contentious. 2. Why should I forego about a thousand and half rupees just for not showing the original Id proof? I was not travelling without any Id. In fact, the coloured xerox of the driving licence (a copy of which was pinned to the Tatkal application at the time of booking) was produced for verification to show that I was not an imposter or fraudster. 3. The ticket examiner conveniently wrote 'no id proof' in stead of writing 'no original id'. He was also rude and sarcastic, passing unnecessary comments in front of my family and other co-passengers. The Railways may do well to show some respect at least to the senior citizens of this nation. 4. If there is a rule that the ticket fare should be collected twice for a single journey, then that rule is draconian. Levying penalty for not showing the original Id is okay but still contentious. But collecting the fare twice is atrocious. 5. The rules are being framed to curtail the agents/brokers, which is laudable. But still the nexus continues and rules are circumvented by some unethical employees and these brokers/agents. In the process, genuine passengers are harassed and put to untold suffering. 6. The Examiner could have shown a little discretion as regards the genuineness instead of slapping a heavy penalty including the ticket-fare for a second time. 7. I request you to consider my case and order the railways to refund the excess fare collected.

xerox copy of ID CARD is not allowed as per railway rules...

I HAD FILED A TDR BECAUSE THE PASSENGERS WHOSE NAME APPEARED IN THE TICKETS HAD NOT TRAVELLED DUE TO SUDDEN DEATH OF A RELATIVE. I HAS GOT THE REFUND OF ONLY 796 AND THE TOTAL COST OF ALL THE PASSENGERS COME TO 3006.

AS PER THE RULE I SHOULD RECEIVED ATLEAST 50%.

WHEN I CONTACTED MR SHARAD KUMAR WHO IS IN THE CHARGE OF REFUND DEPARTMENT

AT RAILWAYS IN CHURCHGATE ,HE REPLIED SO BADLY THAT WE WERE SLEEPING FOR ALL

THIS TIME,AND HE SAYS THAT TWO PASSENGER HAVE TRAVELLED BUT NO ONE HAS

TRAVELLED. THIS IS A PURE CHEATING DONE BY RAILWAYS. I AM LIABLE TO GET THE

sir,
I had reserved a ticket for 3352 Dhanbad exp.
from CHENNAI CENTRAL to TENALI FOR[protected] for
2 passengers.The Ticket no is[protected].

As on that day the train is running late for more
than 3 hours I cancelled my program and as the time
was already 23.[protected] I had gone to home.

Then on the next day morning[protected] at 09.47
I approached the reservation counter at chennai central
and asked them for FULL REFUND as the train was late
for more than 3 hours but the booking clerk replied me
that the rule is "train should be late for more than 4 hours"
and despite my repeated request to verify the RULE
he paid me only 50% of the amount by CANCELLATION
TICKET NO[protected] PNR NO--[protected].

As the Rule is "FULL REFUND IF THE TRAIN IS LATE
FOR MORE THAN 3 HOURS" I request you to pay me the
balance amount(Rs.192/-) and give proper guidence
to the Booking clerk so that this kind of harassment
does not get repeated with any other passenger in future.

TDR — refund

PNR NO.[protected] DATE O JOURNEY[protected]
REFUND is not yet not received
for necessary action pl.

Respected Sir/Madam

My name is Maheshwari Ratnu. My journey details are as below.

Journey Ticket PNR no:[protected]
Train no:- 9105
Class:- 3AC
Date of Journey:- 11/09/2009
Station from: Ahmedabad (ADI)
Station To: Haridwar (HW)
Reservation Ticket no:[protected]
Reservation Status:- W/L
Total Charges:- 3039
Total persons traveling:- 3 (Female's)
. I purchased tickets of 3AC Class for the travel. By the date of travel my ticket reservation
status was not confirmed and was still in "Waiting List". Therefore, I had to travel in a non AC general class. However I paid
for the "3AC" class. Therefore, I want a refund for the difference in the amount I paid for the 3AC Class and the non AC general
Class in which we actually traveled.

For getting this refund I have also filled the "Ticket Deposit Receipt" (TDR) form and sent it earlier by post on time to "DY CCM (Claims) Office
Northern Railway, (Near Station Building), Varanasi. However, I got no response from their side. I also waited for 3 months as mentioned by "The Station Master" who informed me to follow this process. But, there has been no resolution to my request.
Therefore, I am writing this E-mail to you. I request you to kindly look into the matter and resolve this for me.
