Hello everyone.

I Hope everyone is doing well.

This is regarding Railway Lounge Acces.
I travelled Alot in my life a mostly by train And usibg Railway Lounge Access so many times.
I tried Lounge Access at Delhi ( Both platform 1 & 16 ) Jaipur, Ahmedaba, Varanasi, Agra cent where I noticed their Service is excellent.

My best Experiance Was at Delhi plarform no 1.

Railway Lounge Access provide Excellent Service for those Who are Frequent Travellers by train And need to rest for 2 3 hrs.


I have Few Questions for everyone of you.

1 Any one here tried railway Lounge Access? If yes please share your Experiance

2) do you think more credit cards should provide railway lounge Access

3 why axis and HDFC not providing Lounge access i saw hdfc bank logo in delhi platform no 1 lounge but when i called hdfc they said no railway lounge access in any cards

4 Dreamfolks is the partner with railway lounge can we get lounge Access with Dreamfolks priority pass? Have confusion on this




Please do share your valuable opinions with this threat




Thank you

Yes, but Asansol and durgapur may not be available for all banks, atleast idfc don't have it in their list. Cross check with your bank.

Last I checked in at Asansol. No cards were being accepted.
Any most recent experience of any one ? When ? Date ?

I don't know about any cards that is giving access to Durgapur or asansol. That's why I had put that caution message.

That pdf you shared hadn't been updated since 2 years. In your pdf, Chennai is also not there, because it is newest addition and that's old pdf. And the card works at Chennai central lounge.

Yes. And I think you are new to these lounge thing. If you don't know, then there is another way to check lounge access. Go to dreamfolks website, create account and add your card there. You'll be able to see which lounges are available, how many free access used and how many left in your card. Hope this clears all confusion.

I have used airport lounge access many times, yet to avail railway lounge access, as not used train for journeys in last 7-8 years, I thought since idfc is frequently updating their airport lounge access terms and conditions, they might have updated railway lounge access t and c as well, actually was casually checking their t and c today, so came across this. As for using railway lounge access, I have icici mmt black signature, icici coral, zenith, idfc select credit card. I did check railway lounge access for all credit cards , I hold, au credit cards provide railway lounge access for all railway lounges functional at the moment. And I am not a newbie, already holding 50 plus cards( my plus wife's cards), it is fun to engage in a healthy and meaningful discussion where we can learn from each other, that's d sole purpose of this community.

I have used dreamfolks QR at airport a number of times, but used only physical card on railway lounge, so I donot know. But they don't accept physical dreamfolks card like airport does, they denied it at ndls platform 1, hence used credit card

PNR and government ID proof along with QR should be enough

If you have physical card with you, then directly do it at station.
If you don't have it then via dreamfolks you can add your card and then select the correct station and do the payment of two rupees which will generate a qr code and then show this to the person at longue access

Please mention it should be physical credit card and not physical dreamfolks card
