Many times, i book ticket for friday, some 1 month ago, my waiting list will be 150 +. Aroung 80 % it has become either RAC or confirmed. I think some one is blocking tickets and cancelling it in the last days of departure.

Since last minute or few weeks before we wont get ticket, people book the ticket in advance. If there is no other works, or issue, they travel. else they cacnel out. This happens in all places. Especially in cities where IT professionals are there.

In that case, cancellation will happen after few hours and all.But in this case, cancelation happens some 1-2 day prior to departure.

I strongly believe, existance of some lobby behind this. So a person will prefer to go by bus, once he saw a Waiting list of 200 and all.

In Bangalore - Kerala route Bus Lobbies are playing very well.
You see everyone know, Most of the People Travel to Kerala From Bangalore on Fridays. So most number of trains should be there on Fridays. But Unfortunately we have only 2 Trains when comparing to Thursday we have 5 Trains (AC Express, GR Express, ERS SF Express + Regular 2).
So Bus lobbies are influencing Railway board NOT to INTRODUCE any more trains on FRIDAY so they can charge Rs.1000 to Rs.1999 for each seat in their bus.
They
...
more...
are also playing like Bulk Booking the Rail Tickets and Final Minute cancellation. When a person see WL 300, He wont go for taking chance, will go by bus. Thus Bus Lobbies earn over Rs.1000 by spending Rs.60 to Rs.100 on each Cancellation

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
