Indian Railways Updates

[chaibiskutbhai]

Its July from tomorrow and a new time table comes into effect from tomorrow. Majority of trains remain uneffected. However, a few trains have undergone big changes (speeding/slowing, extra halts, etc). Timings of a few trains at intermediate stations have been altered by a few minutes for some trains. So, before boarding, please do check the correct timing of the train. Also, better to reach the station with enough buffer time is advisable.

Wow & railways is supposed to have one of the best Optic Fiber / IP Network in the country, bad deployment i guess

An announcement on the new train enquiry website informs visitors that, starting September 6th 2013, they should use enquiry.indianrail.gov.in/ntes/ instead of Rail Radar and TrainEnquiry.com.

 

[rvisharma]

they should have included maps, railradar was better in this part

 

[IndianMascot]

That's not a user friendly URL. They should have launched the new interface on the same URL. Current interface is good. I never liked the previous one.

 

[chaibiskutbhai]

This is just an interim solution. NTES is going to be relaunched with a lot more features including the map, etc in a few months.

[elepton]

Thanks. Do you have any more info regarding the relaunch?

 

[chaibiskutbhai]

i know the people who have tied up with CRIS for the project. Unfortunately, I cannot reveal more now.

 

[elepton]

Okay. So instead of extending the partnership with RailYatri for a few more months, CRIS developed (at some expense) a new interface just for a few months? Or maybe both the new projects will run side by side. That would be a better idea.

 

[IndianMascot]

There has to be new things happening other wise tender would come to an halt and commission would also be killed
