IRCTC (Indian Railway) Website - A New makeover with great speed
Author: Ashvin Savani - Arckid26 Aug
IRCTC re-launched their site before 2 days ago while I am writing this post. IRCTC(Indian Railway Catering & Tourism Corporate Limited) is online place to buy train tickets in India. Currently they are one of the most popular websites in india. They were known as the worst site for Geeks and also I faced lot many problems with that site previously.
Sometimes even such things happened like, only few tickets were available for some route and I waited a long time to process my request to buy ticket and experienced that before page appears and I finish the payment formalities, no tickets are available. 
And at that time, I was thinking - really this site sucks. But finally before few weeks ago, I guess they clustered their servers or increased the bandwidth or so but they managed to make the site more faster.
Before two days, the site was suspended due to some maintainance but when I saw the new look and feel of the site, It was more professional then before. And speed is really good compare to those old days.
Thanks to IRCTC and Lalu Prasad!

still it’s pathetic.
@Ziya,
You are right, it’s still pathetic but improved from the previous version.
I am trying to book my IR tickets on irctc.com but, since last 2 days the site is not opening. LALU PRASADJI are you aware of this…………. I stay in Mumbai.
Dear Friends,
I should say that IRCTC has very good side with the best server in world. However, in summer times they simply deny the connection at 8′O clock.
We are always getting a message false printed on forms. In technical term
it means there is no connection available.
In this sense they gives lot of time to the agents to book the tickets over the
counter.
Then what is the reason for having a good side. The IRCTC technical guys are aware about this that there is no coonection this way they fooling the people
who are thinking they will get tickets on internet.
Laluji saying that you ar e doing this and that is very good. But actually when you see all the GOCHIS done by the irctc tech team, you will com to know
that you himself making false promise to people stating the good things.
You can take it as a blame. If any irctc person has a guts or a simple shame can give me answer.
System which i use: P-4 3GHz 2 gb ram 2 mbps broadband connection. I hope this will prevent you to give me the technical jazz. I need simple and TRUE answer.
Thanks and Regards,
Jaykishan
