Online reservations: limited hours.
If you want to book train tickets in advance using the excellent online ticketing system at www.irctc.co.in, be aware that reservation is only functional between 8.00 and 22.00, and from 08.00 and 14.00 on Sundays (all times IST). You can view the availability of seats, though.

many, many thanks

Please look at this thread, even if you are not in India.: Have you seen Jonathan Spollen?
He could be anywhere now: You might have met him, be able to help, or give information.

At times they think that passengers are to be delivered like a deep frozen parcel 
.Just shout at that AC operator sitting at the corner cabin near the toilet.Its too difficult to locate when closed.He hides inside

On my first trip to India, my friend and I travelled First Class air conditioned (1A) from Trivandrum to Chennai, my friend spent long periods in the loo (not air con) TO WARM UP.

Regarding AC I have been on a train where there was little or no AC functioning, whew..
The cold is relative. Obviously, when outside temperatures drop at night, one feels cooler inside the AC compartment and hence the need to ask the attendant to reduce the cooling.
During mid-noon, when the outside is like a furnace, one may complain that the AC is ineffective, if the attendant does not increase the cooling inside!

Another great post beach
We travelled 2AC and it was great but chilly!

GOOD JOB 
Resourceful train travellers should carry a roll of plastic duct tape to mitigate the effects of air-conditioning.
Those of us lucky enough to travel around India in December and January can be quite comfortable in Second Class Sleeper (reserved).
