eRail.in - absolutely brilliant!
I can’t seem to get enough of the brilliant interface that eRail.in has brought as an alternative to all the frustrated online visitors to the Indian IRCTC website. The website has been developed by Vimal Kumar alone, who heads the Delhi based company, 5Map. He has done a brilliant job and has completely over-turned the frustrating experience of searching and booking a ticket online, with a pleasantly user friendly one. This example shows all entrepreneurs out there that there is still plenty of room and potential for innovation in new Indian web models. Way to go, Vimal!

Really Fast compared to irctc.co.in. Appreciated.
But the ticket fare of StationA to StationB is Rs. 746 in erail.in, while the fare in irctc.co.in is Rs. 776. (Actual Fare is Rs. 776).
Can you provide a specific example please? This may be happening if erail is caching data and not updating it on the fly.
Example:
Train Number - 6202.
From: UBL
To: MYS
Class: 2A
Fare: Rs 749 (eRail.in), Rs 776 (irctc.co.in)
By the by, i am avid reader of your blog. Keep up the good work.
