So I went to the local reservation counter to book the tickets for this train and the booking clerk says that they simply can't allot LB from the system for this train! This when 400 tickets were available!
I further asked him what more can't he book, and he replied that they can't book LB and SLB for this train. He also confirmed the fact with other booking clerks!
It has been a known fact for quite some time that even if you are booking online and specify LB when the availability is...
more... wide open, you will never get it.
Whats with this? Has any member had any similar experiences? Is booking a WL ticket the best chance at a lottery that is LB these days? :P
