In the balancing act between speed & accuracy, the tendency seems to be a big bias towards speed. In the end lowers credibility in the medium. We have got to get out of this incessant scoop culture, and 'breaking news' urgency. Its only news if its real!

I have been using rediff's train search for a few months now. Just because you dont know about it does not mean it does not exist. I wonder why rediff did not or even now does not advertise this service. They are just not media savvy like other guys are. Oil impact on planes tickets was this holiday season. I used it to do my booking around christmas. Please get facts right. Wake up guys.

This post is via a release sent officially by rediff. Frankly I had no clue they had launched this earlier and seems like they have announced it now itself. Nonetheless the impact of oil and air tickets forcing web players to look at other travel avenues stays. Thanks for correcting me. This post is via a release sent officially by rediff.

Rediff Train Fare Search launched way before cleartrip did. The headlines should have been the other way round "ClearTrip follows Rediff's train fare search". Don't know why Rediff doesn't popularizes it's services but their travel search is much better than most others It’s a big mistake. Rediff Train Fare Search launched way before cleartrip did.
