Entry# 4297 Reply Add Bookmark Remove Post   Moderator, Moderator, Please answer my query. WL 26/27/28 Surat to Coimbatore SL class. Journey Date 26/04/2009. The WL moved up just 6 places in about 2 weeks. Should I book in Tatkal scheme? Coz I dont see any chances in this WL gettin CNF. Also the Tatkal has only 14 seats for SL class. How can they make the world travel in just 14 seats? I feel that there are only last minute CNFs. I checked the reservation status after 90 days and in that too it shows WL. I think these people are fooling the public. Any reservation is just WListed and then they decide whom to give CNF. Now dont answer in one of your "balancing act" answers. Just give me a good and neutral reply. Are the authorities cheating the public? I can understand your frustration. But, unfortunately I do have to give a moderate reply, since I am the "moderator". Who knows what's going on behind the scenes? Anything is possible. In such a populous country, everything is scarce, giving rise to unfairness. It has been observed that WL advances fast in the last couple of days before departure. It is not known why? In your case, Surat also happens to be an intermediate station, and WL movement depends on the number of tickets allocated for Surat, which is less than the usual end-to-end quota. Then of course, there is the existence of Tatkal, VIP, and other quota. It is possible that some seats are reserved for these quota till the very last minute, and then WL is advanced if these seats are not sold even in the last couple of days. For now, we, the common public, have to live within the system. Good luck with your cnf. Hey, MODERATOR, THANKS ! That feels better. Just a little worried as I am going to take my 8 year young daughter FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER in a TRAIN. Waise bhi ye country Bhagwan bharose chalta hai !! I will leave it to HIM. | If you are an auth. IRCTC agent, and want your name up here, then 1. Please join our community. 2.
