Yes it is very disgusting to book tatkal ticket on irctc. Very Fed up of this kind of services.

Tatkal ticket booking through internet is really impossible, especially when you need it the most and its really an emergancy, i would say its just desperate attempt with less than 50% chances, like most of the comments i would agree that the website is not available for service between 8.00 am and 8.45 am most of the time, so you will be lucky if there are tickets after that period, so i sincerely urge the authorities to look into this issue, becoz everyone needs to have a fair chance while booking for Takal and it should be First cum first serve basis.

Railway — ticket reservation

i had booked tickets from mumbai central to nizammudin for 2 one month before the travel date i,e 26/12/2009 in 2ac . the status on booking was w/l 27and w/l 28 . as the day gos the tickets get confermed on 24/12/2009 . but when the chart prepared the status of the tickets show rac 1 and rac 2 in A1-49 , A2-49 and the western railways say what we do this rac tickets they fethers says that the two coahes of 2ac are having short seats thats the reasons. this is not fare with us the consumer face every things railways having tatkaal quotas and head office quotas . pnr no is[protected]

when it will run at hisar-dilhi-gorakhpur rute

main janna chahata hun ki, koi agar waiting ka e-ticket leta hai aur koi railway counter se waiting ka ticket leta hai to kiska ticket pehele comfirm hoga. sir, main ye sunne ko paya hun ki waiting bala e-ticket se pahele counter bala waiting ticket pahele confirm hota hai. ye bat sach hai.agar aisa hai to koi bhi yatri e-ticket ka waiting bala ticket nehin katega. please mujhe yeh bat confirm kijiye.

All the complaints show there is something wrong with the ticketing system. My personal experience has been the same today. But the touts near New delhi station always have a way of confirming your waitlisted ticket. Even the reservation booking personal are fully involved.
Some of my recomendations
1. Revert back to old system of 5 days tatkal
2. Stiffer charges for cancelling any ticket
3.Gradual release of tatkal ticket over 5 days starting at 8am in the morning. Charges should increase marginally over the days.
4. There is a possibility of compromise of the cris system/ irctc by possible preference of particular ip address. full investigation required. site software to be optimised for true randomization of reservation request with built in constraints for computers with inordinately fast connections.
5. 24 hrs reservation in irctc be done
6.Overhaul of the irctc site to be done. Interface like that of cleartrip.com will be preferred.

I think this is a mafia that is operating with the nexus of Railway officials and Travel agents. website is superfast before 8:00, when tatkal quota is not open and immdiatley at the strike of 8:00 it is jammed. Internet speed should not be blamed as all other sites were opening fast.

I think this whole system of Tatkal is to promote selling tickets through agents only for rich and powerful people. Moreover there is no clarity on quota sytem and how waiting tickets are confirmed.

I hope someday our system becomes more transperent and is able to cater to needs of "AAM AADMI"

Hi,
I have to travel on Jan 12, 2010. I booked my ticket in Tatkat Scheme on Jan 18, 2010 at 8:03 AM, but it is showing WL 65 and I surprised..what is the hell going on with RailWay department. My question is within 3 minutes, how is it possible all Tatkat quota tickets booked + WL 65.. It shows directly gimmick played by Railways and the Travel agents. Hope the railway authority should notice this... and take immediate action on this...

Railway — Southern Railway/South western Railway

Hi,
Southern Railway/ South western Railway has not announced Bangalore to Madurai any special trains for christmas / New year/Pongal. IN this route lots of people are travelling in the ordinary weekends. There is only one train from Bangalore to Madurai (Mysore to Tuticorin express). The tickets got booked in two hours on the same day when the booking opened. It is very inconveneient for the public especially for the passengers travelling with kids. Even the waitlisted tickets are booked upto WL450
There should be special train from BLR (SBC) to MDU route to clear the extra rush. There can be a ego clash between both Southern Railway & South western Railway. Both authorities are not bothering about this route. Hope that the authorites will do the needful.
Regards

Dear all,
Every one is angry if we don't get the ticket.
Railway Server cant handle so much of rush at a same time ex 8 am, ,
tatkal ticket or season ticket get booked within 5 to 10 sec passing 8.
which is not possible for normal users, even online travel agent if they r lucky the get or else same WL.
but yes i have heard that Unauthorised Railway agent always you can find near ticket booking area they give you confirm ticket for additional charges of more than 300, that what i also do not understand, how they can do so i think this a very big racket because if a authorised agent(e ticket) cant get how a unauthorised agent is getting confirm ticket(i ticket), i think now that some new rules should come into effect, that they should show id and the same person should be on counter whose name is in ticket.

1. In Chromepet Southern Railways Two Wheeler stand they are charging Rs.60 for monthly cycle pass.

But in the board they are announced charge is Rs. 50 only.

2. For Audha pooja and other festival times they are directly asking extra amount.

3. My cycle has been broken many times. Examples -Spokes, Brake, Stand, cycle chain etc...

When i ask the owner his way of respond is very rude.

Kindly take necessary action.

Thanks.

Do you know why cant Talkkal booking through www.irctc.co.in (online booking) is practically impossible to you, who are in behind that?
What happened when booking in railway reservation counter?
What happened when you tried in home?
Let’s say my opinion,
Both are online and it’s clear and transparent.
When you are booking in home, you may be some times using windows operating system or Linux not only that but the Graphics mode, in this mode of both os there are lot information to be send along with processing of each page, and also for showing the updated page there are lot of data to get into your ram i.e. along with flash, flash player, html page, and the security options of your browser etc…
And also the busy affect you at the time of 8-8.30 am
And you click every were when it became slow, that also make more busy to your computer
What happened in reservation center is they are not using graphics mode, they use dos mode which work very fast, and data is to be transferred are very less so they can do quickly.
Thank you

Railway — hardship in tcoaches when travelling.

My name is Rajeev Kumar and i am the vice president of All Kerala Assocoation of Deaf and presently working in the District Panchayath Kasaragod, Kerala. I am a physically handicapped person and drafting this letter for your kind attention. When I was traveled from Ernakulam to kanhangad in Maveli Express (Date : 14.02.10 Train No.6604) I alreay had a reserved ticket (PNR No[protected] in Disabled couch. As in aware disabled couch has 4 berth. But on that travel day I had a bitter experience while the travel. When train arrived at Ernakulam station, I can't even step in to the compartment, because the compartment is thickly packed with the passengers with ordinary tickets. In this situation i had approached a T.T.E in charge and he just ignore me and he asked me to go meet another T.T.E, I narrated my hardship, being a handicapped person like me to run towards the 9th compartment and meet another T.T.E but he asked me to complaint it to the Gurard. I couldn't do that, because i can't walk well and its not possible for me go to the Gurard room at the the last. Atlast i begged to the public in that boggie to consider us, but we got lot of i& shouting from the public, and they just ignore us. Because of this i came here at Kanhangad in standing in the whole night. Railway giving all these nominal concessions for us because we the people are physically handiapped. But we got clear ignorance from the railway officials. We also are human beings, and we request you to consider this letter in humanitarian ground and take adequate actions on this issue. I can know that a lot of persons like me have these same type of hardship in this coaches when travelling.
