I am trying to book a ticket from Mathura to Bangalore. Now the problem is Karnatka express shows PQWL full in 3A and the 2A also looks quite full. From the FAQ on the site, PQWL seems a bit unclear in terms of confirming.
My next option is to book the ticket from New Delhi, the starting station so that I get GLWL. Will there be an issue if I book a ticket from New Delhi and board it at a different station 3hrs later? One of my friends says if I don't board at Delhi, the TT will check the tickets and not finding me on my seat will cut my name off the list. Is it true?
