Booking Train Tickets: Have someone collect tickets in India?

driver99 · Mar 13th, 2008, 14:24

I apologise in advance if this has already been covered elsewhere but I haven't been able to find it.

Basically, I am having a right mission trying to book the e-tickets so was thinking of getting one of my relatives in India to book the ticket for me...if they do that, then is there a facility to collect the tickets from the booking office/ticket office?

thank you in advance you wonderful people!

As far as I'm aware, you can no longer pick up pre-booked tickets from anywhere.

You can either book I-tickets and have them sent to an address in India (hotel for example), or book e-tickets and print the ticket on your home printer.

Waitlisted tickets can now be booked by e-ticket.
