It has been been my practical experience with the above site, while doing online booking (www.irctc.co.in), especially in TATKAL category.
Whenever I login on the site to do Tatkal booking, the site mysteriously depicts "Services Unavailable" message from dot 8.00 am to around 8.10 am. The same site works properly till 7.59.59 am and as soon as the clock strucks 8.00 am, we get the "Service Unavailable" message. And when the site comes up after some time, all we see is "Tickets Unavailable" or "Waiting Lists".
This has happened around 4 times with me. I can take 1 time as a coincidence, but 4 times is tooo may coincidences.
Also, there was a complaint in Newspapers, that many a time the servers are delibertely shut down by some dirty elements within the Railway itself, to let the big Online Agent have the tickets. How can anyone explain the facts, that in non peak time, tickets to the tune of 270 be booked in 5 mins.
It;s time that the railways take notice of this. OTHERWISe shut down the bloody servers.
