@ShubhamSSoni2@AshwiniVaishnaw@RailMinIndia@IRCTCofficial@PMOIndia It pains me to say this, message displayed : “We are experiencing high load. Please retry.”
After 3–4 minutes of trying, the seats are either gone or already in waiting.
Is this just a technical failure of the railway system, or is there something else going on?

SERIOUS CONCERN 🚨 Train 15024 YPR-GKP, 5 Nov. Booking opened at 8 AM. I was ready at 8:00, yet “High Load” continued until 8:08. What happened during these crucial minutes?
#IRCTC#Railways
Indian Railway ticket booking is a nightmare.
Try to book ticket in rush - high load, random logout, payment error, session expired, and suddenly all tickets are GONE in 2 mins.
How is IRCTC still not able to handle peak load in 2026?

@ShubhamSSoni2@AshwiniVaishnaw@RailMinIndia@IRCTCofficial@PMOIndia Fully with you on this. I tried booking tickets this morning and the message "High load, please try after sometime" kept popping up. Genuine passengers are unable to book tickets in IRCTC these days. Talkal is a nightmare. No idea what the govt is doing.
@ShubhamSSoni2@AshwiniVaishnaw@RailMinIndia@IRCTCofficial@PMOIndia@amitkilhor yes same for past 2 months unable to book tatkal ticket by common man wit ₹15000 smartphone,now railways is made for elite also they make us sit in a seat RAC at the cost of berth,even if u wish to cancel they charge ₹60 for sleeper and ₹13 for service charge-pathetic railways
@ShubhamSSoni2@AshwiniVaishnaw@RailMinIndia@IRCTCofficial@PMOIndia Totally Agree, Big Shouts that we are going to Next level when Current level just doesn’t work. Irony is Reservation counter servers also doesn’t work during first 15 mins… Well Done Indian Railways… leave Bullet Train .. run what you have properly will consider that progress
Very poor and frustrating experience with IRCTC. 😡
For the last 3 days, I have been planning and waiting to book my festival travel ticket.
Finally, when the booking window comes, after selecting the train and entering all passenger details, the system simply says:
“Unable to process request.”
All that waiting for nothing because of a system glitch.
Is this Digital India? 🇮🇳
Festival travel is predictable. IRCTC should be prepared for the rush instead of making passengers suffer at the most critical moment.
@IRCTCofficial@RailMinIndia Please fix your systems. People deserve better.
World-class digital infrastructure until you try to book a train ticket on IRCTC. 8:03 AM and the server is already down with high load errors. Every single time. 🤦♂️ @IRCTCofficial@RailMinIndia
