But due to latest technological changes and growing internet users in India, customer’s expectations are increased to a great extent.

The new train enquiry beta site is rocking, awesome. The searching of trains has been made easiest ever interface. In no time I found my train name. I think, first time, railway enquiry website is making use of AJAX based technique to speed up the response time for searching trains. This way the arrival of result is almost instantly.
ReplyDeleteBut, the only thing I disliked is that new train enquiry website provides current train running status for a train for previous and next two stoppages only. In my opinion, they should give option to view train running status for all the stoppages like source station, destination station and all the intermediate stations. Actually in previous train enquiry website this facility was available to get a full chart for viewing running train status.
The feedback page of new train enquiry dont confirm us if the feedback entered is successfully saved in the database of train enquiry website.
It is shit that complete information you cant get all train arriving & depoarture to the station passing for next 24 hours....

ReplyDeleten the older version it was easy to track the train with respect to the boarding station as to what should be the expected time of arrival...what time the train has left the station even in case of 8-9hrs before...but the new site provide info of specific location not in old relative way,,,
