Few of the benefits of using the old site is that –
- Few online tatkal booking Chrome extensions are not working on new website. Hence, to make it work you can use this trick to access the old website.
- New website loads slow for some people. So for them, they can access IRCTC old version on PC.
Please note that this trick will work only till this secret link is not taken down. Also, if IRCTC does not remove their old coding files. Till then enjoy this old website look. :)
So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and book your rail ticket from old IRCTC website. Have a safe journey :)

Booking tickets not printing ..

Yes, it’s not working anymore since IRCTC added an error exception stating – ‘Use our new site’ when we try to login using this trick.
Agent log in option is not working. Then how can I access my old id or I have to create a new id for that. I need a ticket to be cancelled but if I can’t access my old id @hw can I do. Kindly resolve
You can cancel ticket from the new website also. Not only the website, but you can also download IRCTC new mobile app and log in to your account to access all functions as you get on the website.
Or you can just click ‘Agent login’ option present in sidebar :P
Good find :) Although this is no longer working.
i don’t like new look of irctc website
Well, I hope this trick was helpful. I believe new website will be more optimized and faster soon.
