eRail.in - A cute way of Searching for Trains in India

I had been wanting to post on this site for quite some time, but some sort of inertia had crept into me that I stopped blogging altogether in the past few days. But now that I've broken this inertia by posting one article, I feel like posting more! :)

This post is for all those people who are exasperated with the way we have to search for trains in India. The Indian Railways run website, is not the great way to search for trains. The site design is absolutely bad, and it takes one quite a lot of navigation to search for a train and it's availability. This is where eRail comes - a simple and very nicely designed site. The entire process of searching for trains, checking availability, getting the fares and looking at the train journey route are all packaged in a single page without any need to even scroll the page. The site also includes a map showing the route from the source to the destination station, courtesy Google Maps. The only functionality waiting to be integrated is e-booking.

Some screenshots from the site:
