Hello!
Thank you for your reply
Why do you think it is likely? How can you tell?

Also, when is it likely to find out about confirmed if we do?
Thank you

Thanks mate, I have found it.
Are you sure we can get off at Goa? Will they let us?
Thanks for your help, really appreciate it.

OK. I got that last available and got one on waitlisted.
What do you think the chance is that I will get the second ticket confirmed?

I hope you're right mate!
Waiting until 4hrs before departure though is a bit tough!
Hopefully it confirms soon enough for me to not have to revert to booking flights.

Hey mate! Assuming that we get to Goa, what do you think would be best to get back to Mumbai on the 4th of January 2015?

Hrmm, thanks guys, perhaps I will try for FTQ when I am in India.
I'm sorry to ask again but this is something that is difficult for me to understand.
With regards to the Kochi Mumbai (Goa) train that I one confirmed and one waitlisted ticket on - how confident can we be that the second will be confirmed?
Is it really just pure...

Guys - thank you. This extra info makes it much easier for me to understand your logic. I agree, it seems very likely we will get this ticket...good news. But as you say, just a prediction.
Again thank you for your time!!
How did I find this site? I was doing research about waitlisted train tickets and a travel writer mentioned it to help predict whether tickets would be confirmed.

Thanks Again! for the wisdom.
I think both 10104 and 10112 are already too waitlisted for us to get tickets.
I'm looking on cleartrip though at trains 02114 and 12431 however the availability says 'failed' and 'closed'. any idea what these mean? Cheers

Hi everyone
If we were to consider getting from Delhi to Kochi on a train would we be crazy?
What would be the best option? We would travel from Delhi on the PM of the 9th Dec

Hi guys,
The second ticket is still waitlisted. Is it time to get nervous yet!? Or is it still just a case of waiting until the day and having the fingers crossed? :)
Thanks!

Thanks bro!
And post charting is 6hrs beforehand right?
If the second ticket doesn't get confirmed at this time can I still cancel the one that is confirmed now and get a full refund?
Cheers
John

Hi buddy,
So I went just now to varkala train station to buy a ticket to ERS so we can catch the LTT on the 28th.
In conversation the reservation guy asked which train I was catching to Goa. I told him the LTT and he said it does not stop. When I mentioned the technical stop he said it was 'sometimes it stops' and 'best of luck'
Is...

Legend thanks. And the clerks won't have any issue with people trying to disembark at a technical stop?
