I went there today to check out some train timetables and the usual inquiry/reservation link is gone.

http://english.barota.com/

Looks like they redid the site. Is it just me or is are the train timetables not to be found in English anymore?

According to the Q&A section of the website,

"Sorry , our website is renewed.

"Do not anymore
make a reservation,check the time and seat through this website."

Korea sparkling!

This irritates me. I can use the korean site (www.qubi.com) but I preferred the English site.

Their new page if awful. You'd think it would be easy to make a reservation as that is how they make money.

Korea: YOUR TOURISM IS FAILING FOR A REASON.



A hint to everyone: Go to google and type "barota, reservation" You will find the page you are looking for.

Just a few days ago, I checked the time and seats of trains by googling: Barota, reservation, English.

Worked for me too (the google search) up until a few days ago.

I guess the people that re-did the web site had left a few crumbs behind, and now they cleaned up.

Yea, I have been searching for train schedules now that Barota is down with no luck. I guess, we just guess at it by showing up at train stations, but that means waiting around as long as 1 1/2 hours for the next train.

I heard that they were rebuilding the site and that only members with KTX cards could see the schedules and make reservations. But that was on the Korean site.
