Types of waiting list: Large crowds are currently seen at train stations. Due to Diwali and Chhath festival, everyone wants to go to their house. But getting a train ticket is not an easy task. The tickets of a large number of people are on the waiting list. Do you know that there are many types of waiting lists? You too must have been surprised to see your ticket in PQWL, TQWL or RSWL. Today we tell you what the difference is between these waiting lists. Let us know.
Waiting list (WL)
Most of the WL code is written in the wait ticket. It means waiting list. This is the most common waitlist code. Here the chances of your ticket being confirmed are greater. For example, if the ticket says GNWL 7/WL 6, it means that your waiting list is 6. This means that your ticket will be confirmed only if the 6 passengers who booked the ticket before you cancel their tickets.
RAC
The RAC code stands for Reservation Against Cancellation. In RAC, two passengers are allowed to travel on the same berth. Subsequently, if passengers whose tickets are confirmed do not travel, their seats will be given to other passengers as RAC. If this code appears in front of your ticket, your train journey will be confirmed.
Pooled Quota Waiting List (PQWL)
PQWL means Pooled Quota Waiting List. When a long-distance train travels between any two intermediate stations, the waiting ticket is placed in PQWL. If the confirmed ticket is canceled at any station here, the PQWL passenger’s ticket is confirmed.
Tatkal Quota Waiting List (TQWL)
TQWL means Tatkal Quota Waiting List. While booking a Tatkal ticket, if the name appears in the waiting list, this code appears. The chances of it being confirmed are very minor.
Remote Location Waiting List (RLWL)
RLWL means Remote Location Waiting List. This ticket has the highest probability of being confirmed. This is the docking fee for small stations. Tickets waiting at these intermediate stations receive the code RLWL.
Roadside Station Waiting List (RSWL)
RSWL means Roadside Station Waiting List. This code is generated when tickets are booked from train origin stations to roadside stations or nearby stations. The chances of being confirmed on such waiting tickets are very less.
Birth without a leaf (NOSB)
Railways charge child fares for children under 12 years of age, but they are not assigned seats. In such a situation, the NOSB code appears in the PNR status.
