A scenario of the RLWL

RLWL full form shows Remote Location Waiting List for the ticket. The following steps show the scenario RLWL.

• If you ordered a ticket from B point to C point on a train that travels from point A to D through B and C.
• If there are no open seats to the confirmation of the ticket, then it will be dependent on the cancellation of a booked traveler from point B to C.
• In this case, you must verify the status of the booking online before boarding the train.
• A final chart is set - up for the 2 - 3 hours before the train departs.
• Chances of obtaining an RLWL ticket confirmed are slim because there are few compared to other destination tickets.

RLWL Chances

Priority is given to RLWL ticketholders. The outlying stations produce different chart hours just before the train arrives. RLWL ticket holders only get a confirmed ticket if a final ticket holder cancels.
