Indian Railways waitlist tickets through internet available for all trains
Indian Railways has started the waitlist e-ticketing service through internet (e-tickets) from 10th May, 2008 for all trains. The facility is available on the e-ticketing website www.irctc.co.in of Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), a Public Sector Undertaking under the Ministry of Railways. This is expected to make e-ticketing services even more customers friendly.
After chart preparation, the waitlisted e-ticket may either become (i) fully confirmed, or (ii) partially confirmed/partially RAC; or (iii) partially RAC/partially waitlisted; or (iv) remain fully waitlisted.
In the first three cases, the names of the passengers shall appear on the reservation chart and they shall be allowed to travel as per the reservation rules. However, PNRs of those who remain fully waitlisted will be dropped and the names of the passengers will not appear on the reservation chart. They will not be allowed to board the train.
For refunds of fully waitlisted e-tickets after chart preparation, customers need not apply to IRCTC for cancellation and refund. Their tickets will be cancelled online by Railways and refund shall be credited to user/agents accounts automatically.
The scheme has got a very warm response from the Public. Already IRCTC has been booking around 15,000 waitlisted e-tickets per day.

The better way to search Indian trains looks great and it open fast, no pop-up, user friendly. Every information in a single page. This concept is good and some of the features like calendar, train running day has not come in a single website in this reviews. the most important features i have seen in this site that if the user does not know the station code then also he can see all the trains and it is only website which have a drop menu box for the important station from where you can choose the station name and also it has a date calendar from you can choose the date and it show the running day of the train so that you can know which day of the week this train is running. the other most important feature I have seen in this website that it show the train which does not have the reservation coach for the benefit of the user and they are showing the passenger train also which is also not available in any website. This site will enable the users to search train route and compare fares of most of the trains in India.
