How Can I Print My Railway E Ticket

For the printing the Train Ticket you have to first identify the appropriate the ticket from the list using PNR or by date. Once you identify the same click on to the same. Once you click you will get following set of options from there you can able to print the train ticket.
Tatkal tickets are confirmed directly and do not pass through the RAC status, unlike tickets from other quotas. When the chart is prepared, the general waiting list (GNWL) takes precedence over the Tatkal waiting list (TQWL). As a result, Tatkal waitlisted tickets have a lower probability of being confirmed.
Some e-tickets allow for "ticketless" travel, in that you do not need to print a hard copy of the ticket before boarding the train. This is generally true with high-speed train. In these cases, you can simply show your e-ticket on your personal mobile device (smartphone or tablet).
Other e-tickets will require you to "print a ticket upon departure," which means you will need to use a self-service machine at the train station to print a hard copy of your ticket. Input the PNR for every segment when prompted on the self-service machine and you'll get printed tickets you can then validate (if necessary).
The type of e-ticket you have will indicate whether you need a hard copy or not. Keep in mind that if you have one with the "ticketless" option and, for any reason, you are unable to access the email for ticket information, you would need to buy a new ticket. We suggest that you print the tickets, just in case.
Hi! I am traveling using a global Eurail pass this summer for France, Italy, and Spain. I have a mobile pass and have paid for seat reservations on trains from Bordeaux to Paris and Florence to Rome. In the emails for our bookings they say we need to print out copies of our tickets, even though we have the mobile pass. Why is this the case and what will actually be needed when we board the train?
To even be able to ENTER stations for these TGV in FRance (where I am now also) one needs a ticket with barcode or QR code on-to franchise these gates. Untill very recently this was also the place where (manual) checks of covid passes etc happened. I nver saw a mobile ticket as you describe, so I cannot say if this fulfills this goal.
The reservation is one thing and the mobile pass is another. The mobile pass is your ticket which is separate from your reservation. You always need to create a ticket, a QR code, in your mobile pass for every journey you make. In addition to your ticket you for some trips need or want a reservation.
The reservation for Paris - Barcelona gets to you via Postal Mail on security paper. It is not possible in a other form for this train. Or buy it at train stations in France, Spain or Germany. But seats for Eurail users are quota limited and can be sold out.
I don't know for Italy and Spain, but in France you can totally use the mobile tickets. Of course the email is not enough, but it contains the ticket as a PDF in which the QR-code is. Showing this in the train or at the gates (for TGVs) should be enough. And maybe you can even import the ticket in the SNCF app if you have it (but not necessary and I didn't try that).
Follow up: right now I sit, using its free wifi, in yet another FRench big station, having had breakfast and this is what I noted when boarding the overnight train in Paris with also controlled access-manual.
At least 50-60% of normal travellers simply had it on their fone-this code and showed it and beep and that was it. I had made a REServ for a couchette some time ago and got a paper ticket New style, not the cardboard things one used to get) with also small QR code and that was scanned and OK-no need to even show pass etc.-though there must have been a warning to checkers a travelticket would also be needed.
The Edmondson railway ticket was a system for recording the payment of railway fares and accounting for the revenue raised, introduced in the 1840s.[1] It is named after its inventor, Thomas Edmondson, a trained cabinet maker, who became a station master on the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway in England.[1]
He introduced his system on the Manchester and Leeds Railway.[1] Previously, railway companies had used handwritten tickets, as was the practice for stagecoaches, but it was laborious for a ticket clerk to write out a ticket for each passenger and long queues were common at busy stations.
A faster means of issuing pre-printed tickets was needed. There was also a need to provide accountability by serial-numbering each ticket to prevent unscrupulous clerks from pocketing the fares, who now had to reconcile the takings against the serial numbers of the unsold tickets at the end of each day.
The tickets in each series were individually numbered. When a ticket was issued, it was date-stamped by a custom-made machine. The tickets to different destinations and of different types were stored in a lockable cupboard where the lowest remaining number of each issue was visible. Different colours and patterns helped distinguish the different types of tickets.
British Rail's centralised paper and printing centre at Crewe had a number of pre-1900 Waterlow printing presses which met its annual demand for 320 million tickets.[3] The last press was switched off in 1988[3] and the use of Edmondson tickets by British Rail completely ceased in February 1990 after being replaced by the standard APTIS orange card tickets.[1]
Vertical-format Edmondson card-size tickets were the final manifestation of the Edmondson in the UK. The NCR21 system was used at Southern Region station booking offices from the late 1960s to the mid 1980s, until supplanted by the early generation of computerised systems including INTIS and APTIS. Vertical-format Edmondsons were validated in NCR21 cash registers, which is the machine printed date/fare/machine number on the ticket front. Some NCR24 machines were later bought from Dutch Railways for use on the Southern and these were distinguishable from NCR21 because the machine data, in a slightly different format, appeared upside down on tickets.
To interest collectors, even the smaller stations would carry pre-printed ticket stock for single and return, adult and child journeys to numerous local stations and London, with "blank" stock also available for use for journeys for which no printed stock was available.
Use of Edmondson tickets issued by British Rail declined during the 1980s as computerised systems superseded them. After APTIS was launched in 1986,[4] NCR21-equipped stations were converted to the new technology, concluding in June 1989 with the removal of Edmondson tickets from Emerson Park railway station.[4][5]
The Edmondson system is still in use on many heritage railways in the UK. For example, the Severn Valley Railway, the West Somerset Railway, the Bluebell Railway, the Isle of Wight Steam Railway and the Swanage Railway print Edmondson tickets for their own use as well as for a number of other heritage lines. In Sussex the Bluebell Railway has a number of Edmondson printing machines that are to be placed on display in a specially-built museum at the front of Sheffield Park station. There are several small companies that still produce Edmondson tickets on request.
Typically, half-fare single tickets (e.g. for children, dogs, and bicycles) would be created by cutting the ticket in half vertically; half-fare return tickets by having a diagonal cut across the ticket, having the value of half the adult fare. The remaining part was placed in a groove in the lid of the ticket rack above its tube. It could then be used as another child ticket, or counted as a credit.
The reverse side of a ticket might be endorsed, "Subject to rules and regulations of the issuing railway company". In Poland alternative (less popular) destinations were printed there (e.g. "albo [Polish for 'or'] Lucynw, albo Mienia" for a ticket from Warsaw to a then-popular summer vacation village, Urle).
The Edmondson system was widely used in European countries such as Austria, Belgium, Netherlands, Czechoslovakia, Romania, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy (until mid 1995), Soviet Union, Norway, Poland, and Switzerland, and outside Europe, for example in Australia and Argentina. The use of Edmondson tickets ceased in most countries in the 1980s or 1990s.
In Switzerland, Edmondson tickets were issued until December 2007 at some stations, especially of the RhB.[6] Edmondson tickets are still printed and distributed (also via internet order) by Druckerei Aeschbacher in Worb (Bern/Switzerland).[7]
While they are no longer used on main-line railways in Australia, Edmondson tickets are still issued by many heritage and tourist railways; the Puffing Billy Railway prints its own Edmondson tickets, having five ticket printing machines including a working Edmondson original. It prints tickets for most of the preserved or heritage railways in Australia, as well as exporting tickets to the Talyllyn Railway.[citation needed]
In Czechoslovakia there were two printing houses that printed Edmondson tickets, the first at Prague from 1898 until 1999, the second at Vrtky, both part of the state transportation publishing house NADAS, since privatized as NADAS AFGH s. r. o. (Ltd.). In 1993 Czechoslovakia split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia and the state railway company ČSD was divided into Česk drhy (ČD) and Železnice Slovenskej republiky (ŽSR). The Prague printing house produced 50,000 tickets per day until start of decrement[clarification needed].[8] Since 1999 ČD stopped ordering these tickets and production stopped. In 1999, the new private narrow-gauge railway company Jindřichohradeck mstn drhy (JHMD, Local Railways of Jindřichův Hradec surroundings) bought the machine accessories from Prague and since 2000 it has run its own printing house at Kamenice nad Lipou, for its own use and for nostalgic trips on ČD and a number of museum railways. JHMD has one of two extant Goebl printing machines from 1895 in the world, together with four newer machines.[8] In the eighties, at ten of the biggest railway stations in Czechoslovakia special mechanical printing machines were used, which printed tickets in Edmondson's format.
