Where can I pick up an online-booked train ticket?

Heiko

Hello,

can I pick up an online-booked train ticket at the reservation office in Delhi, if a have no address for delivery?
If this is not possible, does anyone have experiences with a city-bank address in Dehli as a delivery address. I'm a city-bank customer and perhaps it may be possible.

hi heiko

there was a recent thread on this topic but it seems that the general consensus is that you can't pick them up - this is also what the website says in bold red letters just before you pay for your tickets. I presume that this is also why they have introduced a E ticket system.

I have arranged for all my tickets to be delivered to my hotel in delhi so that they are waiting for me when i arrive. Perhaps you could pre-arrange one nights accommodation for this purpose? i am staying at hotel 55 in CP but i am sure that most hotels would happily accept delivery for you.

There were two recent posts by neeltje on the 'Booking Train Tickets from Abroad' thread to the effect that it was possible to pick up booked tickets at the Chelmsford Road office. The original post from May 30 contains correspondence with an IR officer indicating that the office was 24 hours and gave the proceedure. Neeltje's second post on August 7 reports success picking up the ticket. Here are the posts, but it would probably be worthwhile checking personally first if you wish to go this way.

Few years back it was possible to pick up tickets at Delhi, now that facility DOES NOT exist.

So the best option is to get the tickets delivered to your hotel.

good luck.
