Need some quick info / guidance. I have two bookings today from Bangalore to Howrah.
1 - 12864 Train. Departure time: 19:35. Still in WL.
2 - 12509 Train. Departure time: 23:40. RAC
I want to understand for 12864 - when can I cancel this? Can I wait till chart preparation to see confirmation chances and then cancel it if it is WL
...
more...
or RAC? Some are telling that WL ticket will be auto-cancelled and refunded but on irctc website it is mentioned that no refund will be granted if cancellation is not done before 30 mins of scheduled departure? one more confusion, after chart preparation and before 30 mins of departure cancellation is allowed or TDR needs to be filed for RAC or WL ticket?
Please reply only if you are sure.

Tatkal quota more than general quota? :O
While I was trying to understand confirmation chances for a ticket I booked recently for 12302, I found that for 2AC, NDLS to HWH general booking quota (available seats) is 75.
While for Tatkal (Just checked availability for 13th and 14th sep), is 80 !!
How is it possible?

NDLS to HWH general quota in 2AC is 75. I think other seats are reserved for Other stations.
But, even after all considerations, 20 mins before departure of train - for NDLS to HWH, how are 123 seats available in 2AC? :O

Re# 1989317-8              
There must have been some error. Now it's showing Not Available.
Similarly, for SDAH Duronto which will depart at 18:30 from NDLS, 2AC available seats showing as 142 now.
Is this some invalid figure during or after chart preparation?

Re# 1989317-12              
When I checked 12302 2AC 123 seats available approx 40 mins before departure, there was no surge pricing. normal fare.
So, approx 123 of 260 seats of 12302 today went vacant. Unusual?
And coming back to my first question - 75 available seats for general quota in 2AC for NDLS to HWH but 80 in Tatkal? How's that possible? Or tatkal doesn't have station wise quota?

@1989317-11  @guest
IR should adopt Dynamic fare and not only surge pricing to avoid losses. meaning fares sometimes can be much lower than the normal fare also. (in cases like that of today)
Who would book ticket with such high fare even on the last day if tickets are readily available on other trains and flights?
Air India is running an offer till 30th Sep - Booking within 4 hours of departure at Rajdhani normal fares. Checked myself. (Promo Code: SPOT)

Friends, I need some suggestion.
I will be reaching NDLS station from Jammu Rajdhani Exp at 5 AM at PF 16.
This train is very punctual and generally arrives approx 5 mins before 5 AM.
I need to catch Shatabdi Express from PF 1 to Agra at 6AM (Departure time)
Worst
...
more...
case scenario I am considering, Rajdhani arrives 10-15 mins late. And would like to board Shatabdi Express on PF 1 comfortably as finding coach and walking upto the coach may take some time.
Will 30 mins be enough from PF 16 to 1?
How long will it take to walk with my mother (age 60 but fit) with medium luggage, to PF1
Will it be risky or will it not take much time as we will be shifting platforms within the same station.
Are all the stations from 16 to 1 side by side or is there some distance / gap in between?
Please suggest
