The Indian railway reservation site helps the passengers to not only make a reservation but also to check various information such as checking the schedules of each train, the halts that a particular train takes en-route, making a PNR enquiry, cancellation of bookings and also viewing the railway timetable.


When customers make a train reservation online, they can opt for any one of these tickets – an E-ticket or an I-ticket. An E-ticket is an electronic ticket, wherein a person will receive a message on his or her mobile phone or e-mail address about the details of the ticket. I-ticket is the name for the Internet ticketing wherein you will receive the hard copy of the ticket to your residential address within 2-3 working days. However, you should book an I-ticket at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled travel. E-ticket and I-ticket passengers should carry their valid Central Government approved identity card with them while they travel on trains.

You can select the type of coach on which you wish to travel. The First Class AC class is the most expensive and it is almost equal to the airfares. You can even select from the two-tier and three-tier AC coaches. The passengers of all AC coaches can enjoy the facility of blankets and pillows. The ticket cost is inclusive of all these facilities. The Sleeper coaches have nominal rates but the coaches are non-AC compartments without the provision of blankets and other such amenities. So, login to the Indian railway reservation system and book your tickets for a memorable journey.
