Good morning to everyone,
I am an Australian, coming back to India at the end of August. I have planned twelve train journeys over six weeks. From Kolkata to Assam to UP to TN to UP to Punjab yo Kolkata and finally to Bikaner and return to Kolkata. I say "planned" because since IRCTC changed to their new web page I was unable to login and it took over two months to resolve. Now that I can login I still can not complete a booking.

I

have two questions.....
a. What is happening to IRCTC booking system and
b. Why is there no Foreign Tourist Quotas?

If anyone can give me an understandable answer I would appreciate that.
Thanks

Morning Neel.
Thanks for your reply. I can I can login, select the train, date, class, enter all my passenger details (with an Australian passport) and when I click continue to go to the payment page all I receive is a rotating coloured icon saying "Please wait". From then on nothing happens.
I looked at the link you sent but the "Services"

Tab does not appear on the web page when I log in.
I'm not getting any solution from IRCTC and am getting pretty frustrated. I want to come back to India at the enhd of the month and do six weeks rail-fanning but so far have only been able to book hotels but not one of my twelve proposed train trips.

If you know Queensland I live outside of Toowoomba.

Thanks

Neville

Good arvo, Neville

I can suggest you a solution: Try using a VPN and select the location as India until you reach the payment page. As soon as you do, turn it off. Hope this works out well for ya. If not, I and my friend KK would help you book the tickets. Cheers!

Toowoomba,

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
