We need to take the BBS - Howrah Jan Shatabdi (Train # 12074) tomorrow (29th Sept.) morning, and the IndianRail site click here is showing (at 9.32 pm, on 28th Sept.) an availability of 10 seats under the A/C Chair Car class (CC). , Thereupon, when I tried to book the tickets at the IRCTC site, it mentions that the Charts had already been prepared (which is understandable). Then, how come this fact isn't reflected at the IndianRail site (which, after all, is also supposed to be real-time, and is an official, governmental site)?! Why is it not showing that the Charts had been already prepared. I am attaching a web-page grab of the IndianRail page showing that there are currently - at 9.32 pm, 28th Sept. - a total of 10 CC seats available! Seniors/Admins please explain this anomaly. Since the charts had already been prepared, would I still be...

able to purchase the CC tickets at the counter (if so available tomorrow morning at the current booking counter at BBS station). Or, do I need to rush right now (it is nearly 9.45 pm now) to the BBS station and book the CC class tickets at the counter. Please advise. Thanks.

Sir, though it's understandable that the charts would be prepared by this time for trains departing early morning the next day, how come the indianrail.gov.in site is still - even now, at 9.53 pm - showing that 10 seats are available?! This is a serious anomaly, as the IndianRail site is supposed to be real-time too, just like IRCTC. Would I be able to book the tickets (CC) now (it's now nearly 10 pm, and I'm put up at a place some 10 minutes from the BBS station), or do I need to do this tomorrow morning (i.e., how many hours prior to the departure of a given train does its current booking open). Thanks for your advice.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
