Ooooh! The frustration of booking a train from abroad!

There are many agents who do the bookings here as well. Let me know if you are in Mumbai so that I can send you the contact details of the concerned person.Thanks

Thanks for that Steve, we have a room booked for 4 nights and plan to leave on saturday at around 11am. There appears to be no-way to book online with India Rail as they do not accept credit cards. I believe there is a company in the UK that does so I will try that. Any Idea Steve how much a cab is from Mumbai international to the Fort area? Thanks again.

Hi, You can always try a bank transfer as well. It cost approx. about 300-400 INR. but it depends upon the traffic. Which hotel have you booked the nights? Regards..Steve

Cheers for the link, will give it a bash.

Not 20-25$ buddy.. Max to Max it will be $10

Cheers again. There was a recent TV programme whereby the average DAYS takings on a taxi in Mumbai was $15-20.
