Why IRCTC website is always down

irctc

So after spending 45 minutes, I am still getting this time out and service unavailable error, the new site is just “old wine in new bottle”, nothing works, even for static information, the site throws database errors!

    I also tried number of time. This site is use less when you really need it. Worst way of maintaining a website.

    The way it is managed, we can still feel the stunky smell of Indian Govt way of work.

    everyday in the morning before, now we can see every often it will be down.
    By the time you search for the available ticket it will through an error or session expire.

    I hardly got chance to book a ticket any time. Especially in the mornings as you said. It will be always down from 8 to 8:30 AM.

    Guys, this is nothing to do with any management. This looks more of a scam to make sure that tickets get booked by the agents(remember they have a different log in) rather than the public.

    yes true…even i got to know that they can open the website 2 minz before 8am in the morning so that they can book the tickets well before us and make us fools waiting for the website to come up after 8 am…by the time the page opens…u will see only WL 70 for your train.

    It started working now. But this site is getting misused by agents. I saw an irctc online ticket with more than 10 people in a single booking. I asked the person and he said agent helped me to book it and that too in single booking.

    For last month mine is always waiting listed to >100 due to vacation time.

  • Vinod varghese

    IRCTC site displays “:Unable to retrieve the train list|”: for the last few days…..
    Another scam probably to help the agents book the tickets and make money.
