The Indian Railways Online Ticket booking website (irctc.co.in) is also the most popular internet destination in India for train pnr status enquiry and train route online timetable. No wonder, the IndianRailways Online Passenger Reservation website receives a few million hits per day for Trains Fare Reservation Availability Status Between Stations.Onlince Services offered by IndianRailways includes Trains/Fare/Reservation Availability Status, PNR : Passenger Current Status, Fare Enquiry For A Train, Train Schedule, Train Time-Table, Train Name Number, Telephone Numbers for EnquiriesInternet Reservation, Computerized Reservation Offices in India.Indian Railways operates 8,702 passenger trains and transports around five billion people annually. Indian Railways website is the only online information source for checking the ticket PNR status, train time-table schedule, seat availability enquiry, railway map and passenger fares. Yet, the Ministry of Railways have done little to improve the usability and accessibility of the railways official website.Pop-ups, frames, blinking text, tables with big borders, scrolling text - which are a big no-no in modern web design - can all be located on the Railways homepage. None of the images have an alternate text. The IRCTC homepage is jam-packed with third-party credit card advertisements that it might take a while just to locate the login form.Millions of Indians still connect to the internet using slow and expensive dial-up connections but Railways website pages are bulky because to content as well as heavy use of style tags. Can they please use CSS. In few cases, over 70% of the HTML code was commented which can easily be removed from the pages making them lighter.The Railways website doesn't follow a uniform color theme or font scheme. CRIS maintains two official websites (www.indianrailways.gov.in and www.indianrail.gov.in) - both seem to offer the same features. Indianrailways.gov.in sports a much better and user-friendly layout that indianrail.gov.in. Which one should I use ? The Online PNR Status Enquiry system is officially down for a few hours everyday. Why ? Do computers need rest ?Travelling in the The Palace on Wheels, The Royal Orient or The Fairy Queen give the real taste of India.Indian Railways offer a unique two days all inclusive package by combining thrill, romance, wildlife and steam heritage on the luxury train Fairy Queen. A two-saloon train makes a short journey from Delhi to Alwar. The Queen with the privileged ones aboard reaches the picturesque town of Alwar in Rajasthan the same day, from where the guests will be taken to Sariska Tiger Reserve for an overnight stay.The Palace on Wheels has 14 coaches named after former Rajput States. The train is completely self-sufficient, its public spaces include two restaurant coaches and a bar coach with an attached library. All coaches and corridors are fully carpeted. At the end of each coach is a separate lounge where passengers can relax when they wish to move out of their bed rooms.
