Ifound on the rail website that you couldnt book online more than 12 days in advance from mumbai to goa 3 tier ac / , do you know if this is in a private compartment

You can book 60 days in advance, which website advised only 12, that seems rather strange!
Book your trains here Indian Railways note you will need an address to have the tickets delivered to!

3AC is a shared compartment with six beds 8 if you count the two across the aisle!

2AC has four beds inside and two across the aisle

1st AC has only two beds in a lockable compartment this is expensive and only available on certain trains!!

There are a few trains for which reservation is permitted only 30 days in advance.

Konkan Railways allow reservations on the overnighters on the Mumbai - Goa route, trains 0111 & 0112 (I think), but only in 3 tier air con, I can't remember their reservation period, but it was different to Indian Railways.

Here's the link to the Konkan RR special internet booking program -- you are correct, Steve, it is only for a 3ac berth on the Konkan Konya express. It appears that it is only possible to book this particular program 7 days ahead.

3ac coaches are not set up as private compartments.
