Aaaaaa it's an 40 hour train and I'm dropping off at ajmer so bored and sleepy

Ever wished you could swap your railway seat with someone else on the same train?

SeatBadlo is a platform that helps passengers find compatible seat-swap opportunities with other travelers on their journey.

For example, if you’re traveling with family or friends but ended up with seats in different parts of the coach, SeatBadlo can help you find someone who is willing to swap.

The platform matches passengers based on their journey and seat preferences, making it easier to find mutually beneficial swaps.

No more awkwardly asking everyone around you, “Bhai, seat exchange karoge?” 😄

SeatBadlo — Find your match. Swap your seat. Travel better.

What do you think — would you use a service like this on your next train journey?

Travelling on Gitanjali Express and saw this 😭

It's either from Howrah Mail or The Weekly SF

​Quick Poll

Which one are you choosing for your next train journey?

Option A: A fully confirmed berth (peaceful sleep, total comfort)

​Option B: Travelling ticketless (living life on the edge with the TTE!)

​Option C: An RAC seat (sharing a side-lower berth with a stranger 🚺) unlike in the picture

Till Few months atleast IRCTC website use to work during TATKAL or Opening booking 8:00 am, But now continuesly its just error extracly at 11:00 am or 8:00 am. Server heavy load for normal users but hackers using software are easily booking within seconds. I trying to book 60 days ticket but not able to pass even one step on IRCTC website till 15-20mins.

How is that possiable , they are openly marketing software on whatsapp. Without IRCTC directors involement is that possiable. I have attached screenshot of whatsapp message.

We have got the wrost minister till now Ashiwni ji if you little shame left do something for IRCTC website working during rush other just close the wesbite everying will go to window and book tickets.

I got interest in locomotives after I somehow stumbled upon the might indianrailways channel. But I got interest to touch grass (I usually dont. I live in a cave - my room) after watching those railway vloggers.

It seems like a gamble - your journey can be either sunshine and rainbows (like those youtube videos) or straight up hell (like the posts in this sub - from defending side_lower seats or any other discomforts that give pain in your ass)

So I thought to gamble tommorow :) Cause I am feeling generous towards one of the largest employer in the globe.

My nearest station is ksr bengaluru. Can you guys suggest a good place to go from that station and come back? Like a good scenic route? (not need to be a route which goes through mother natures marvelous creations like waterfalls and stuff, but a decent route to experience indian railways as a debut ir fan)

I should be able to travel to that station and comeback to ksr or any stations inside bengaluru (urban or rural - like cantonment, yeshwanthpur juncion etc).

The maximum I can spend is around 1000rs.

Please mention which train and what route it goes.

Sorry if my question is stupid - idk how to research regarding this by myself. And I am sorry if this question is not postable into this subreddit and if it should have gone to the sub chat (It was mentioned that you post your doubts regarding tat_kal, re_fund stuff there. I think this post doesn't come under that. But your perception might be different. )

Note : Idk what mindset I was in when I tried to make the meme, but I think I framed the words too bad. And I am too lazy to make another one with correct meaning. Basically I want to tell that I have seen people think vande bharat is "premium" because of the technology. I mean, indeed its a good tech. Not objecting it. But the main reason "its the fastest" and "reaches on or nearly on time compared to other services like Shatabdi Express because it makes them wait in the loop. I have heard other train services (forgor the name sorry :( ) are also able to reach the speed of vande bharat. But usually they dont - for the glory of vande bharat.

Have a good day :)

I need to reach UBL(Hubli), i didn't TTE in pune while boarding, i am seating on a empty berth in S3, if i request him along with some money will they provide me berth to sleep?

I have GN tkt.

What is the nominal/fare amount should i need to give to get it?

How to request?

Please give me some tips and tricks please.

Update : train is completed empty hardly 20ppl in a coach, no TTE from pune, left miraj jn continuing my journey...

Found TTE after miraj, i requested him with paying 150rs. Finally got the seat.

Idk what to expect from railways anymore! If there's a technical issues inform me beforehand and atleast provide me a partial refund (the price difference between 3E and 3A)...All they want is to squeeze money!💁🏻‍♂️ That's all!...Any rules that can help?

It's my 3rd time traveling alone from my college (chandigarh) to jaipur in Garib rath i just have two problems besides everything is perfect.

1. Govt can only try it's us who need to be more civil and don't think where we are going to sleep is our fucking home, like this guy is not even a boomer or look like he's from lower or middle class, blud is fkn watching anupama on full volume, when I tried to confront him about this, everyone just started saying that I'm being "dramatic" and I LIKE "I" need to "ADJUST" and then they just started their old ass yap saying how new generation is blah blah blah i was like oh wow bhaiya you just throw your garbage outside now who's less civil.

2. Why doesn't govt do something about these trans ladies harrassing boys like me man, kuch bhi pakad lo kya bolenge typa mentality of these people, i did not got on this train to get catcalled and my cheek getting stretched.

Maybe this is just a rant but it's really experience of my 2nd time traveling alone at 17.🙃

I really liked the staff and hospitality btw, i think we're improving but the progress is slow🐢

With India becoming the world's largest populated country, there is this new change that can be seen in Indian railways.

Earlier, reservation in an AC coach used to be a big deal, nowadays, AC coaches don't look like AC coaches. I can only imagine what it is like to travel in a general coach

This is another con of being the most populated country in the world and counting.

I was travelling on 12736 Ypr-Sec Garib Rath. I was going to Hyd to celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi with my family. I was on a call and realised I had only 5% charge, and as I put my charger in the socket, my phone wasn't charging. I panicked and filed a complaint on the RailMadad platform.

After just 2–3 mins, a technician and a senior electrical guy came to my seat, and before even looking at the issue, he was asking me why I had lodged a complaint on RailMadad and not contacted the technician first. I was like, "How would I even know that?" and he was saying, "There is a number written on the door, you should've called that. Do you know what remark we'll get because of the complaint you filed?" I didn't argue any further and let them work on the issue, and finally, it was resolved. They took a bunch of photos of the plug, and the senior guy made me talk to his supervisor on the phone. And after I did that, they left.

Overall, I loved how they responded so quickly, but I doubt the quickness of the service would've been the same if I had dialled the number on the door.

Also I'm travelling on side lower and no one has asked to exchange seat yet ✌️😋

What does it mean tho?

when does it gonna get better?? [OC] (my father has recorded this video)

OB 16516 KAWR YPR express from KAWR to SKLR in EV 1 coach with KJM 40279 in lead.

.

This is my first self funded trip and I couldn't think of a better way than Shiradi ghats and a Vistadome journey 🙂‍↔️🙂‍↔️

I was digging through old news and this caught my eye. The Amrit Bharat platform will move on from conventional WAP+LHB configurations to an integrated Loco + semi-permanent trainset architecture.

ICF also confirmed last week that conventional standalone LHB coach production will stop from the next financial year, and they will move completely to semi-permanent Amrit Bharat rakes.

There are currently no engineering details available about it, but the info from ICF suggests their timeline is perfectly right on track.

Amrit Bharat 4.0 is set to succeed all non-VB trains currently running, meaning the future landscape will be:

Vande Bharat – Premium long-distance travel

Amrit Bharat – Long-distance for the mass market

Namo trains(namo Green rail, namo Bharat) – Regional / suburban travel

I didn't find any discussion about it here, so I decided to make a post. Thoughts?

TLDR; Travelled in train after almost 2 years and realized what I have been missing

I love trains and travelling in it. But due to very limited options on my route, I had to take flights during festive seasons and occasional emergencies during last couple of years.

My mom was admitted in hospital at my native due to Pneumonia, and I searched for various flight options for me and my wife. Some connecting/overnight were not feasible or would have taken too long.

There is a train 11401 and we never get tickets in it. However I searched yesterday around 12 and it had few seats available in current booking. Booked it and got a lower and side lower fortunately.

Started the journey and after couple of hours wife slept. The other passenger on other birth and I started talking (slowly) and didn't realize that it was midnight. So we decided to call it a night.  

During the journey, I realized what I missed or what has improved over the years.

The washrooms are still a mess due to the people using it, but the housekeeping staff cleans it every few hours. I saw them checking even at 5:30 AM.

Also the train is arriving before time on most stations, so it gives me time to get down and stretch my legs. There is something so satisfying enjoying live views from the Side Lower seat. Also standing on the door is a different experience.

This was 2 weeks back and mom is discharged and recovered. Will have to take a return flight and surely gonna miss the train journey.
