Sorry for the downtime of the app. Indian Railways changed a few things on their end and the app had to be updated accordingly. I appreciate all the emails that requested the app to be back on. I am trying to negotiate with Indian Railways for them to adopt the app given that so many people find it useful and also to add the ticket booking and reservation feature. If any of you know a high powered Indian Railways Officer and/or Senior Politician or Member of Parliament, please do let me know so we can make this work the property of the people of India.
