lose sleep over "IR making losses". IR will take care of it. IR is, in all probability, monitoring their occupancy levels, and will take necessary measures to maximize the revenue potential of their trains. Leave it to them. It is their business.

Details:
1. The Individual Train page now shows the full 120-day Calendar. The dates always start from Today, and go down for the next 4 months. (see Pic 1) There are 3 methods of refreshing:
a....
more...

Select a date in the Calendar and click on Refresh Availability. The selected Date is highlighted with a Red border. The Availability status is updated in place, for the current Date as well as the coming week.
.
b. Go to any date row, and click on the Refresh link to refresh that particular row and coming week. The Availability status is updated in place, for the current Date + next few days.
.
c. The extreme right-hand column indicates "Freshness" of the status. When you update the status, the Freshness automatically changes to "0m old". This cached state is useful when the status is a high WL. Even if the status is very old for WL/regret, you don't really have to "Refresh" the status, since it will merely change to a "higher WL number" which may not be very useful. Instead you may go down the list to the Green statuses, and do the Refresh.
.
d. The cached status is cleaned out every day. So, the Freshness will never be more than 24 hours old.
.
e. The "rotating circles" have been eliminated - replaced with a simple red "wait". This was consequent to a suggestion by our Admin DB.
.
f. There is a new "Refresh FULL Calendar" button. Clicking on this will refresh that particular Trains Availability Calendar for the next 120 days. If that Train has a Limited Run, then whatever duration the train runs will be updated.
.
2. Within the Search Page:
a. When the First Search Page is brought up, the Availability is pre-populated for all Trains with NEXT date of run of that Train.
.
b. Same as above, the rotating circles have been replaced with a simple "wait".
.
c. When you expand each row, that Train's Full Availability Calendar can be seen. (see Pic 2).
.
d. You can also Refresh that particular individual Train's Availability Status by clicking on the Refresh link within each row.
.
3. A New 2-month Availability Calendar page has been created for All Trains between 2 stations (see Pic 3).
a. The Rows are the Dates going from Today forward till the next 2 months.
.
b. The Columns are all the Trains that run between the two stations.
.
c. Clicking on the Column header - Train Number - will take you to the individual Train's page. Hovering on the header will give you the familiar tooltip summary info for that Train.
.
d. At the start of each date Row is a "Refresh" link. Clicking on this link will Refresh the status of All Trains that Run on that Date, as well as the next Few days.
.
e. Hovering over each "Availability Cell" will popup tooltips giving details of the Availability Status.
.
f. You may ALSO click on each Cell, to update ONLY that particular Train's status for the given Date + the next few days.
.
g. The Calendar screen is very Large, may consume a LOT of your browser/computing resources. So please take care while Refreshing. To ease the load, a Train Filter link has been provided at the top, to limit the number of Columns. Other Filtering links will also be provided soon.
.
h. There is a Quota drop-down filter at the top. When you select any particular quota, the Calendar will automatically reflect the Status for That Quota ONLY.
.
As with all features, bugs will be fixed and further modifications will be made, as per feedback and usage.
.
Once again, thanks to all members for the suggestions and enthusiasm.
