For the first time, I am having difficulty in booking for my train ticket from Ibadan to Lagos online.

I believe this is because of the free train offer by the Federal Government. I have observed the following:

1. It is not possible to reserve a seat while booking
2. All First and business class Tickets have been fully booked
3. When completing the booking, you will get an error message that online booking is not possible for unreserved seat.

I don't know if its just some people trying to make money from making the seats unavailable to the public.

I will go there tomorrow and give update on what it is like on ground.

Does any one have similar experience?

You cannot rule out oversealous and corrupt Nigerian..Is not limited to staff only , aome people also book and sell off but as there is paid seat the money they would sell would be less ,I book very early and got my seat .

I thought of things in this line, but on getting there this morning at Obafemi Awolowo station in Moniya, they were asking people to queue up (and there was a very long queue), then they were calling them in group to get their tickets in person.

My conclusion is that they allow some of the seats to be booked online and reserved the rest to be given out in person. It was chaotic and I had to go by road eventually.

If anyone has a train ticket for today, please reach out. I have been trying to book, but saying error on the app
