Indian Railways - Indian Railways Station Code Overkill

Indian Railways should provide ticketing on the basis of name of place rather than stations.I wanted to book a online ticket from Mumbai to Kolhapur (You try it once). It said no station exist. I had to research a lot to find that Kolhapur has been renamed to C. Shahu Maharaj Terminus. This is outrageous and illogical. How the tourist and first timer are supposed to know the exact station name. Railways is simply making things difficult for passengers.

Sir, you see the name of station Chakki Bank has been recently changed to Pathankot Cantt. This change has not been made in IRCTC properly. So currently it is neither showing Chakki Bank nor Pathankot in IRCTC. Hopefully, this error will be rectified soon and you will be able to book the tic
