Train Booking: Backup if a ticket issue happens
Ticket problems happen. The key is: don't panic, go to the staffed counter, and bring your passport + order number. They deal with this all day.

What to do
- 1
If the gate won't let you through or the machine can't find your ticket — go straight to the staffed service counter.
- 2
Show the original document used for the booking and the order details. Staff can identify whether further checks or booking changes are needed.
- 3
Have screenshots ready: booking confirmation, train number, date, seat, payment record.
- 4
Ask for help as soon as you notice a problem; do not wait until the boarding deadline.
Double-check before you rely on this
You know the refund/change policy for your ticket (check the booking app).
You can tell if the problem is your name, payment, timing, or wrong station.
You have a backup plan (later train, taxi, or staying an extra night) if this train doesn't work out.
