Feeling bored in the Train - talk to a RailFan. You'll WISH the train gets late.

im not sure how many of you have encountered this issue with IRCTC, in the new site, when i tried to book a ticket with LOWER as preference, and selecting the option to book ticket if atleast 1 lower is alloted, the system books the ticket with SIDELOWER sometimes. this is really frustating because LOWER doesnt mean it could be SIDELOWER as well..when this happens i try my luck to rebook, whcih sometimes succeeds in getting a LOWER berth. Very frustating experiences with IRCTC, though they have equally made our lives a lot easy.
