In 3 tier A/c, the reservation quota for CBE has been drastically reduced after the train was extended to ERS. Those who want to get confirmed reservation for CBE on this train should book ticket to PGT [Palght]. The fare is only Rs 42/= more than that for CBE. Else, confirmation is doubtful even if you keep yourself in w/l number 1 or 2, since there appears to be only 2nos 3A/c berths quota available for CBE.
