The image verification in Quick Book will be blank and you will be not be able to type in the characters.
5. The image verification of QuickBook will always show circles of loading animation and will never load.
6. The site will expire if takes too much time to fill in details, asking you to relogin.
7. If you click a button or any link twice, the site will hang.
8. No right click allowed to refresh the image verification.
But I used to manage booking Tatkal in off season and not so crowded trains.
If it has to be some long distant train, group of 2-3 guys try from different PC so atleast one gets a confirmed ticket, later we cancel other tickets.
All these are hectic.
Secondly, even if you go to booking counter (usually some agents will give problem blocking the front seats) you may not be the first person to stand. Even if you are the first person, you have humpty number of chances you wont get the ticket. Because ever PRS will get hang between 8:00 to 8:15 am.
So its better catch some agent and give him some 100 rupees extra or so to book your ticket. I dont know how they manage to book, but they book and give me.
