Railways, though, have recently adopted several changes in its reservation system to make it more user-friendly and help individuals. The move, however, could face several hurdles as Railways would then have to suitably change timings of tatkal bookings over the reservation counters. "This could be a reason why passengers are unable to open the site during this period." The official said there is a significant rise in traffic in IRCTC website when bookings for advance reservation period and tatkal tickets open at 8 am.
"Though it is still in the thinking process, we hope the change of timings will considerably reduce pressure on IRCTC portal," he said. The idea is to shift the opening of tatkal bookings to 10 am instead of 8 am. If implemented the move would considerably reduce traffic volume on IRCTC website providing e-tickets, thereby enabling quick access to the site, which sells 30 per cent of all rail tickets, an IRCTC official said.
