Many times IRCTC shows a higher number of results than Cleartrip. What gives?
This is because IRCTC doesn’t take into account the stations specified by you and search for all the trains run between the two destinations. However, we search only for the trains that run between the stations that you’ve specified. For instance, if you searching for train between New Delhi Railway Station and Mumbai Central, we will show you only the trains that running between these two stations. On the other hand, IRCTC will show you all the trains running between Delhi and Mumbai. In this case, to search for all the trains between Delhi and Mumbai on Cleartrip, you will need to select ‘Delhi –– All stations’ and ‘Mumbai –– All stations’ while searching.
