Booking
Train Tickets for Long Journeys

Last
updated 6 February 2008
Here is some help for booking train tickets
for longer journeys from Nabadwip, Calcutta and New Delhi.
Remember
-- travelling and getting things done in India is always an austerity.
To prevent it being more so than necessary, please always take good care
of your baggage, passport, money, and valuables.
Indian
Railways enquiries and express
train reservations can now be made online.
In Nabadwip:
A
computerised booking office is now operating at Nabadwip Railway Station.
It is open 8 a.m. to noon, and 12.30 to 2 p.m. but is closed on Sundays.
The tourist quota is not available in Nabadwip, but only in Calcutta
(see below) and the main cities of India.
In Calcutta
The
regular computerized booking office is upstairs in the new "Yatri
Nivas" section of Howrah Railway Station. If you find yourself
in the old section, go outside, turn right, and "Yatri Nivas"
is the next building.
If
you need to travel within a day or two or want to be more sure of getting
a train reservation, purchase your ticket from the tourist quota
at the Tourist Reservation Office. Ask at the Enquiries
Office for its location.
You
will need to show your passport, and you may only pay in U.S. Dollars,
Pounds Sterling, or in Rupees with your foreign currency purchase receipt.
In
addition train tickets can now be purchased on arrival at Calcutta
Airport on a special quota on showing your plane ticket.
In New Delhi
All
train bookings -- whether general or through the Tourist Booking Office
-- are made in the same building at the New Delhi Railway Station. The
Tourist Booking Office is upstairs on the first floor. Check at the
Enquiries counter.
