Train Reservations

Indian Railways is an Indian state-owned enterprise, owned and operated by the Government of India through the Ministry of Railways. It is one of the world's largest railway networks comprising 115,000 km (71,000 mi) of track over a route of 65,000 km (40,000 mi) and 7,500 stations. Indian Railways is the world's ninth largest commercial or utility employer, by number of employees, with over 1.4 million employees.

Familiarize yourself with the different classes of service that IR provides. Basically, you have a choice of second class, which is pretty basic but adequate (and relatively cheap, hence popular), first class which is more plush, and various air-conditioned classes which provide protection from heat and dust but may be downright chilly at night. (Railfans should note that the view is often not very good through the windows of the air-conditioned coaches which cannot be opened.)

Sleeper class variants of all these exist (2-tier and 3-tier refer to how many levels of bunk beds the coach has). Not all trains provide accommodation in all classes. Reservations are usually necessary (in addition to purchasing the tickets) for almost all long-distance or overnight travel; there are extra charges for sleeping accommodations.

The Rajdhanis, Shatabdis, Jan Shatabdis, and Super Deluxe Expresses have only reserved accommodations, as do the various luxury tourist trains. In addition, a few trains such as the Deccan Queen, Pragati Exp., Indrayani Exp.

The time-honoured way is to go to a railway station and buy your tickets or make your bookings there. However, these days there are many other options, including using independent travel agents, or booking online.
