1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms and Conditions form an agreement between you and Rail Direct Booking regarding your use of the website and any travel assistance services made available through it.
If you do not agree with these terms, you should not use the website or submit a booking assistance request.
2. Scope of Services
Rail Direct Booking provides general train travel information, route guidance, schedule assistance, fare-related information, and reservation support.
We may act as an independent travel assistance service and are not necessarily the railway operator, ticket issuer, payment processor, or transportation provider responsible for the actual journey.
3. User Responsibilities
You are responsible for providing complete, current, and accurate information when requesting travel or booking assistance.
- Passenger names must match the identification used for travel.
- Travel dates, routes, and passenger counts must be reviewed carefully.
- Contact details must be accurate so confirmations can be delivered.
- Any special assistance requirements should be disclosed before booking.
- You must review all booking details before approving a transaction.
4. Reservations and Booking Confirmation
A booking request does not guarantee ticket availability. A reservation is considered confirmed only after the applicable provider has accepted the booking, payment has been successfully processed where required, and a valid confirmation or ticket has been issued.
Users must review the confirmation immediately and report any incorrect passenger, route, date, time, class, or fare information as soon as possible.
5. Fares, Fees, and Payments
Fares and availability may change until a reservation is confirmed. Displayed or quoted prices may include base fares, taxes, provider charges, service fees, payment processing fees, or other applicable amounts.
Before completing a transaction, users should review the total price and any applicable restrictions. Additional charges may apply for changes, cancellations, upgrades, baggage, seat selection, or other optional services.
6. Cancellations, Changes, and Refunds
Cancellation and refund eligibility is determined by the fare rules and conditions of the applicable railway operator, ticket issuer, or booking provider.
- Some tickets may be non-refundable or non-changeable.
- Cancellation penalties or provider fees may apply.
- Service or processing fees may be non-refundable.
- Refund timing may depend on the provider and payment method.
- Unused tickets are not automatically eligible for a refund.
7. Schedule Changes, Delays, and Service Disruptions
Railway schedules, routes, equipment, stations, and services may be changed by the transportation provider without prior notice. Delays, missed connections, cancellations, or disruptions may result from weather, maintenance, operational decisions, labor activity, security events, government action, or other causes.
Rail Direct Booking does not control railway operations and cannot guarantee departure times, arrival times, equipment, seating, platform information, or uninterrupted transportation.
8. Third-Party Providers
Certain services may be supplied by independent railway operators, booking platforms, payment processors, accommodation providers, or other travel businesses.
Your purchase or use of a third-party service may also be subject to that provider's own terms, fare rules, privacy policy, refund conditions, and operating procedures.
9. Acceptable Use of the Website
You agree to use this website only for lawful personal or business travel purposes. You must not:
- Submit false, misleading, fraudulent, or unauthorized information.
- Attempt to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorized access to the website.
- Use automated systems to copy, scrape, or overload website resources.
- Impersonate another person or use payment details without authorization.
- Reproduce website content for commercial use without permission.
10. Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability
Information on this website is provided for general travel assistance and may change without notice. While reasonable efforts may be made to provide useful information, we do not guarantee that all schedules, fares, availability, route details, or provider information will always be complete or error-free.
To the extent permitted by law, Rail Direct Booking is not responsible for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses arising from provider actions, missed travel, delays, cancellations, technical failures, or reliance on third-party information.
11. Indemnification
You agree to be responsible for losses, claims, expenses, or damages arising from your misuse of the website, violation of these terms, submission of false information, unauthorized payment activity, or infringement of another person's rights.
This obligation applies only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

We may update these Terms and Conditions periodically to reflect changes in our services, website functionality, provider relationships, or legal requirements.
Updated terms will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of the website after an update indicates acceptance of the revised terms. Any dispute will be handled under the applicable laws and jurisdiction governing the relevant transaction or service.
