Hello!  

I have just tried to buy a train ticket by Internet.
I wanted to pay by VISA card of my German savings bank.
I selected the Citibank as Gateway since the Citibank is everywhere in the world.  
However, the Citibank and my German savings bank probably do not work with each other.
The booking is put down under "failed Payments" now:

I have tried to amend Gateway.
I pushed the button "buy" -  no more reaction!  
What now?    

There is nothing under "booked tickets"!
There is nothing under "booking history"!
I hav'nt got a E-Mail!  

Thank you for your help

The online booking is a bit leaky and sometimes it just doesn't work. Try enabling cookies in your browser and use the ICICI payment gateway this is rumored to work the best!
Failing that you can just book using another browser!

Whoops missed your last post Heike, congratulations and enjoy your trip!
