indian railway reservation, when we book Waiting List we get 2 numbers ex:WL100/WL 20 . what is first one?

Question

For ex: WL100 / WL50 . Here second one stands for current status of mine . What is that first one mean? . Looks like this number is different from day to day for same train . Is it mean max. no seats ??? .. If so, can i assume that there is a possibility of adding more seats in the particular day if the count is more?? Can any one clarify me ?? ...And is there any site which provides statistics for WL to confirmation for train tickets??

Answer 1

The first number gives your position after the waitlisted tickets was started to be given. Say if you have got 5 as this number it means that there are 4 more people who have got waitlisted ticket. This series number is very helpful to find the status in the final chart.

The second number is the current status.

Say if you have got WL5/WL4, it means that one person above you has already cancelled his ticket. He can be either a waitlisted guy above you or one in confirmed /RAC status

Answer 3

suppose there are 200 seat in a train. 200 ticket booked then after giving RAC 1,2,3,..... 72 waiting list started 1,2,..... now suppose RAC/confim/high priority WL, passenger cancel the ticket then the status of below ticket get decreased by 1 . that why you got two number in waiting list .. 1) Waiting List Number 2) Status of Waiting list eg WL579/WL303 means that waiting list # is 579 but current status is 303 as some passengers cancel there ticket. your first no of waiting ticket will never change but second no will change until the chart preparation. 1 2 3 cancel .. .. 200 rac 1 rac 2 cancel ... rac 200 wl1 wl 2 .. wl 200 suppose two passenger cancel there ticket wl 200 status became wl 198(wl200/wl198) wl 1 status became rac200(wl1/rac2) rac1 status became Confirm 3(rac1/confirm 3)

Answer 4

Logically, you cannot be pushed down a list as ticket booking is a FIFO process. If anyone books after you, he can only have a higher WL Number.



The site si indianrail.gov.in or if you have booked through irctc, its irctc.co.in



Keeping this in view, the first number is the status when you booked, the next is the current status.

Answer 5

WL100 / WL50 means:

Total passengers waitlisted = 100 including you till the time of your reservation; out of which 50 have already been upgraded to RAC and now the actual waitlist is for 50 only.



The first number (WL 100) will always in increasing order but the second number (WL 50) will vary according to cancellation of tickets and seat available.

Answer 6

WL100 = Waitlisted 100 on the original list (this is useless information to you). I'm not sure if this number will ever change. If it does it would reduce as your current status reduces.

WL 20 = your current wait listed status.



Addition of coaches is a logistics decision and there is no way to predict it.



Check www.irctc.co.in

Answer 7

the first wl no indicates the original wait list status for that train and date of journey. (ie without any cancellation) the second wl no indicates the actual status of the ticket after the cancellation of previous booked tickets till that point of time.

Answer 8

The first Wl is the wait list when u had booked and the second is the one the current status.
