I want to express my happiness at the extremely useful way in which I could use this site yesterday for reservation.
I needed to change my travel plan to a late evening train while already having an afternoon booking for 2 of us. The travel date is 4th May. Every train showed hopeless numbers against WL. I learnt 2 things from PNR forum:
i) that if I buy for a longer distance I might be better placed for a confirmed ticket
ii)
...
more...
that selecting the right train can enhance the chances of confirmation.
Armed with this I searched for the SS Quota that is applicable and IRI interface showed me all the trains where confirmed ticket was actually available though the General reservation showed hopeless position.
I could get 2 confirmed tickets for AC 3 Tier under SS quota for an extra cost of Rs 300 for a longer distance of travel than required.
This interface is not available at irctc as well as indianrail.gov.in.
This interface is invaluable. I thought I should thank all of you for this.

Friend, I am just a citizen not any party supporter. Whoever runs the government doesn't do us any favour by doing work.
Secondly, if we keep aside other very serious issues, we also notice that during 10 years of UPA people's earnings have gone up roughly by 3 times. Check prices of commodities and bank accounts. That is the truth.
I do not for a moment forgive any one for wrong doings - whether earlier or now.

Scientist sir, I gave respect to you. Now you are the typical superficial guy with sold out judgement it appears. Do stop political preaching on this site.
Do not judge others by your bird's brain. You have no business to speak for all countryman. A political party is elected by 30% of Indians. 70% of others also have brains, education, judgement everything.
If I start, you will not find a place to hide.

They have just increased the number of trains, so it shows just about 4-5 meals per train.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
