Its really a serious issue.
Can anyone come with the information as to who would be the
responsible for receiving the RTI? I'll take the responsibility for
drafting the RTI.
The case is pending against the ministry of railways in the high court
of Delhi concerning the matter of online concessional tickets, for
which I’m not aware off, but hoping that it would be heading towards
the right direction.
It seems that disabled are not allowed to book even the full fare ticket.
Expecting many suggestions and responses.
With Regards,
Akhilesh Kumar Dahiya,
Advocate.

Hi Bharat,
When you use their Plan my travel and get the list of trains between your
desired stations, the X against a train has been used when the train does
not have the particular class. For example, rajdhani would have X in the
column of sleeper class.
Once you select a class by selecting the radio button, (which is difficult
as I find the column titles in the table is not correctly defined), within
seconds it should give you status and button to book for 7 days starting
from your desired date. I press F to jump to the next form element which
takes me to the first book button; and press up arrow to know the date and
seat availability.
If you know which train you want to book, use the Quick book link to do
the
booking, its relatively accessible.
For planning your train, try using indianrail.gov.in.
Check if the above helps you.
Pranay.

I followed your instructions with FF as well, but no luck. firstly, I
don't understand, what's meant by those X x in between the radio
buttons? secondly, even after cluelessly choosing one of those radio
buttons, where is the book now link or button?
frustrated! totally!
i don't want to use a third party to book the tickets, because,
obviously they would charge me more than the price at IRCTC.
& whatever happened to government of India's own web portal for
bookings? would that not be launched?

I regularly book tickets on this sight. it is not totally accessible
but we can manage with booking. Bharat, follow the table of trains,
select the class with help of radio buttons. follow the table headings
you can easily identify the class by the order in which table headings
are arranged. select the class by checking the radio button. after the
page had been refreshed, you will find the dates and availability on
that date in a table which jaws reads comfortably. press enter on the
book button below you will be directed to a page where passenger
details had to be entered. now here use Webvisum on Firefox or capture
tools on I.E to solve the image capture. enter on go and enter on make
payment in the next page after verifying your details.
you will be redirected to the gateway page where you need to select
your desired option of payment using radio buttons. after that
selection you need to enter your Card/net banking details to process
your ticket. it is bit difficult but definitely manageable. i have
booked hundreds of tickets using this web during even on the Tatkal
timings during which the
responsiveness would be very low.

also at the time of booking, a picture verification code is a strong
barrier.

Subject: [AI] a nightmarish experience using IRCTC
I was considering booking a couple of tickets for myself using IRCTC
but when i clicked on find trains, I realised, there was next to
nothing i could do on that page. with a great difficulty after
choosing the options for the train i wanted, i thought of proceeding
with booking the tickets but couldn't find the options for the same!
am i missing something here. I thought the government of idia was to
launch a portal of its own for online reservations but poking around,
realised that, the government URL also directed me to irctc!
any suggestions? Aby ideas? tips & tricks?
