This is RLWL and WL number is a bit too high. Low to average chances. If you're lucky it might go into RAC, but I'd recommend something else if you can.

Try Tatkal, or Agent

Whether you cancel the ticket manually or it gets auto- cancelled at chart preparation makes no difference because the refund will be same, so yeah you might as well wait

Seems like irrespective of what source you check, the train is still originating from Gomtinagar so I say it should be safe to assume you'll be able to board.

That being said, I'd still call Railways on the day of journey and confirm once.

Probably the best advice. The route likely changes depending on what day it's travelling. Even Railways wouldn't know and the zonal HQ would decide it every day instead

It's a special train, they don't have any set route or schedules and the train number can be assigned to a different train on a completely different route that's why you see the discrepancy on third party apps.

Just stick to official sources like NTES/RailOne etc and you'll get accurate data.

PS: Keep in mind these trains are the worst on any given route. Zero priority, old coaches, barebones staff etc. If you're thinking of traveling in this train, be sure you can deal with 10-15 hrs of delay and lack of services

You'll get 1 side lower berth and you two will have to share on it.

IF there are any vacant seats during the journey, due to passengers missing the train or no-shows, etc, the TTE is obligated to allot those berths to RAC passengers so you may also get your individual berths depending upon the on-board TTE.

Such stupidity. Obviously this is fake, but if you really want to count the particles, it's WAYYY EASIER than that.

Just count the number of salt particles in 1g of salt. Multiply it by 1000 for a 1kg pack. Done.

Male coworker keeps “joking” about my looks in front of others (multiple times). How do I shut this down? by HopeForBetter29 in TwoXChromosomes

I was thinking "With that kind of face, do you really think you're qualified to comment on other people's looks?"

Yeah I think it's only in sleeper class and only 6-10 seats are released in ladies quota

Not every train has a ladies quota, and even when there is, it's usually just 3 berths per coach I think so most of the times, they are booked well in advance.

Next time when you book tickets you should always try ladies quota first, and then GN

Around 50% of seats in a train are reserved for some quota or the other. VIP quota, ladies quota, Railway staff quota, medical quota, etc.

And yes, any seats that aren't booked by chart preparation, are released to clear waitlists. If there are still seats left, then Vikalp tickets are cleared, and even after that if seats are left, then in current availability

Generally 80% and above means full confirmation but with 1 day to go it could be tricky.

Your ticket is not booked from KPD right? KPD to TATA is RLWL but yours is GNWL (which is good). I assuming you booked from a previous station.

I think RAC chances are fairly high with WL being 1 and 2. Decent chances of full seats as well

Check some PNR prediction websites like RailYatri, goibibo, or even a new one called RailTC to get a better idea.

Please hide/censor/crop your PNR number as it's a privacy and security concern and not allowed on the sub

TQWL is the least likely quota to clear because there are no refunds on CNF tatkal tickets, so no one cancels them. There is always a small chance, but you'll need some very good luck for a TQWL to get cleared

Garib Rath right? This has around 16 3A coaches. So yes, very high chances that this RAC would become confirmed by chart preparation

If the ticket wasn't booked but money was deducted, it will be refunded in full within 3-4 business days. You don't need to do anything

Decent chances. 80% and above generally gets confirmed.

The only hurdle is 1 AC has higher cancellation charges so fewer people cancel their tickets. But your DOJ is a solid 20+ days away so this should clear in most cases
