Madurai Okha Vivek Express 19567
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want to travel from Bangalore to Kalyan JN with my family (5 members)
This train arrives Kalyan in the morning so i feel this is the best train for my travel.

i checked for availability in 2A from Krishnarajapuram (KJM) to Kalyan JN (KYN) on 14/01/2013 it always shows only 6 availability. Im checking 120 days in advance.
Since the train starts from Madurai i checked availiability from Madurai (MDU) to Kalyan JN (KYN) then also its showing the same.
Why only 6 is availabe? Is the rest seats/berths reserved for some other quota?
Is it that i need to go to the reservation counter directly & book rather than doing online in IRCTC?

Hmmm.
So there is different quotas.
Coz when i checked for Udyan it was showing more availability, think its because starting point is SBC. The only problem is this train reaches Kalyan late evening and from there i have to take another train to Devlali (DVL) or Nasik Road (NK) which is my final destination.
Vivek express was a good option as its arriving

in morning.
Same way when i checked Coimbatore-Lokamanya Tilak Terminus(Kurla) Express/11014 it is showing availability 8 for 2A from BNC to KYN. From Coimbatore its showing available 35 for 2A. I understand the starting point is from Coimbatore so that quota will be more from there something like TN quota.
The thing which confused me was for Vivek express it must show availability more from Madurai, something like TN quota if im not wrong. But its showing availability 6 for 2A from Madurai also. Im checking for availability 120 days in advance and at 8am in the morning so there is no chance for all the seat/berth to get filled up so fast (120 days advance).
Why is it showing only 6 from Madurai also?

    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...
