NDLS station does not exist?

Dantes · Oct 14th, 2009, 08:01

Trying to book my train travels using IRCTC. I'm staying near the New Delhi station (NDLS). However whenever try to book a train on that site from NDLS to Jaipur (JP), it gives me an error saying that my "From" station does not exist. I can select the train, check the fare and availability, etc, but when I click on Book Ticket it gives me this:

Quote:

The "From" Station you have selected does not exist on the route of the Train or this station has been deleted. Kindly select your "From" station from the Train route shown below.

Doesn't seem to matter what train or destination I choose.. It won't let me use NDLS as the originating station. What am I doing wrong? Is there another station code I need to be using instead?

Thanks!

Disregard. I discovered that this error is coming up because many trains are not available through this station, even though it show them as being available when you do a search. The error message is not accurate, but by using ClearTrip I found out which trains are actually available from NDLS.
