Big Update for train travelers. Every day, millions of people across the country choose to travel by train, with many opting for reserved coaches for a more comfortable and convenient experience. To secure a confirmed seat, it’s essential to book train tickets in advance. You can book tickets either online or offline, but offline booking can be a hassle since it requires visiting a railway counter and waiting in long lines for hours.
On the other hand, online ticket booking is a breeze and can be done from the comfort of your home. There are numerous platforms available that make the process of booking train tickets online simple and efficient. Let’s explore some of these apps and websites…
Where to book train tickets online?

IRCTC
You can book train tickets through the official IRCTC website (www.irctc.co.in) and the Rail Connect app, but you’ll need to create an IRCTC account first.
