1) It took 3 hours to book to & fro Bangalore(YPR) - Secunderabad(SC) and Kacheguda(KCG) - Bangalore(SBC) booking!
Indeed very pathetic. The IRCTC web site behaviour was so erratic, abnormal delays to log in, abnormal delays to enter station code; abonormal delays to show up availability; abnormal delays to show up to enter name of Passengers, payment page & payment option; etc. and then to utter frustration the message that reads: "Connection problem"!!!!
2) With Lower birth preference for Senior Citizens, for two Senior Citizens of 66 and 73 years, finally after

frustrating experience, with 455 seats/births available for booking on Garibh Rath of 5th November to Secunderabad, we don't get Lower births for both and with 49 seats/births available on Bangalore Express of 7th November to Bangalore (SBC) we get Upper Births!!!!
The IRCTC reservation system does not seem to Senior Citizens' friendly!!!!
Why not IRCTC take a relook at this problem????
Further, why not IRCTC stagger the normal booking to open for half the Railway Zones at 8:00 Hrs and the rest at 9:30 Hrs. Similarly, for Tatkal booking to open for half the railway Zones at 10:00 and the rest at 10:30 Hrs????
I assume somebody in IRCTC reads these Posts????

NOW it is high time that Technically separate Servers are put of according to Zone under whom the Train is Managed.
It is wonderful that Facbook with billions of Users all over the world, can manage whole world over with different countries, as per Google search: 800 Million users all over the world, Indian Govt in one country is struggling. And IRCTC will not have many users as FB.
Why cannot they pump in Advanced Servers: Or divide the working as per zones....
Though

more...
every user will have one account, but booking etc servicing will be done under different zones....
If this sounds silly, just look for Facebook... who are located in different country but have 'United Users of World'.... UUW
Why they are telling India is a super power... Is it a Joke?

    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...

So all of these features will be REMOVED. We'll have ONLY BLOGGING - quick upload of pics/videos/audio, etc. You may attach...
