Our website did not crash…. National Rail Enquiries
A statement on nationalrail.co.uk has rejected claims that the National rail enquiries website crashed on Monday when the bad weather hit. This will come as a surprise to the thousands of passengers who were desperately trying to get rail updates on Monday morningas they prepared for work.
However, according to the release, the website handled 48,000 simultaneous visits during the peak hours on Monday which was an amazing 16 times more than the average. However, they do concede that customers may have experienced some slowness of the site because of the heavy traffic.
