How do you even book tatkal ticket?

I tried exactly at 10:00 am and it kept showing a high load till 10:08 am. After that the payment went through and the tickets were already gone.

I tried from Irctc, Railone and even on my iPad but nothing worked.

A much needed step by Min. Of Railways because 3 lines was a massive choke point for all the EMU, express and freight trains were moving in this section.

Lost liveries of Indian railways

I'm sure I'm not the only one who can relate to this..

I travelled in Durg - Nizamuddin humsafar a while ago in March and there were only 2 humsafar coaches in the whole train rest other were just classic red rajdhani liveries.

Even the mumbai-howrah duronto has barely 1-2 duronto livery

Ek din ayega jab lhb me sirf red colour hi dikhega

Another train accident reported in Rishikesh. Do you think Indian Railways is doing enough to improve long-term safety and accountability?

Doubt regarding Humsafar

I genuinely want to know..

What's the purpose of the Humsafar express ?

And why is the price so high than any normal express or superfast express train ?

- I mean it doesn't even provide that premium or luxury service like Rajdhani.

- It's not even a high/better priority based train.

- Takes more time , long routes , more stoppage like a normal express train,sometimes even more than a normal express train.

- It doesn't even retain that particular Humsafar livery coach.

- It provides less services than a normal express train.

- Even if Sampark kranti's has more fare, still it can be justified.

If anyone knows the reason or if I am missing something.. please let me know..

Where will you go?

If you are ever given the chance to jump out of the emergency window and reach the place you have always wanted to go, where will you go? And why so?

Spotted this beautiful livery while traveling Mumbai to Delhi in Tejas, couldn't resist capturing it!

Skipped 10₹ tickets to get 500₹ unlimited travel pass.

Me and my friend were late for the train, so we boarded without buying tickets and planned to get them later. Unfortunately, the TC checked before we could, and both of us got fined ₹500.

A rushed decision turned into an expensive trip.

This trip is genuinely testing my patience :(

So i am just trying to sleep and this kid would not stop Screaming and her father instead of telling her to stop Screaming says "Bacche hai chillaenge nhi to aur kya karenge?"

(They are kids what will they do other than screaming)

Like dude fr?

Also then many minutes later this kid decides to start hitting the wall that our seats share

I just tried to politely tell her mother (ok maybe not that politely) to tell her child to stop hitting the wall and then she says i thought you were hitting it from your side?

Like yeh dono miyan biwi kya bol rhe hai?

(What are they saying)

After that i just asked them to try and keep it quite since its already 10pm and she comes and starts arguing with my mom? Like girly argue with me na?

And then comes the line "Aap kya chahti hai thappad Maar du"?

(Do you want me to hit her?)

Do you not have any other solutions to just make your child stay silent and can't people just be a little considerate that others are travelling as well?

I understand that she is a baby.. she doesn't understand staying quite and all but what is up with these parents encouraging them?

In the end comes the line... "Aap mujhe bacche paalna mat sikhao"

(Dont tell me how to raise my child)

Mai kaise hi sikhaungi behen.

(How will i tell you anyways)

I dont have any experience in that.. 🫠

And even if i were to teach i am pretty sure she would be too busy glossing over her little angel who can do nothing wrong.

🥴
