maltabella · Oct 7th, 2007, 05:58

thank you all guys!
I am so excited, 20 more days and we'll arrive!!!!!!
if you have any more suggestion, we are still in time!

Per favore,

When you get here, be ready to leave all the rush-rush of the West behind. The best thing about India is its people. You could stay here for 100 years and still not see all that India has. Reposo!!! You probably have a hectic job in Italy. Do you really want to go back to work exhausted?

Meet some people on this board. Have fun. Be crazy. Let go.

Ciao,

Sierra

Sorry if I was not clear, Maltabella...just to say that you may not want to travel so much in India. If you are from the West, even one place in India is a lot to take in.

maltabella · Oct 7th, 2007, 22:46

... i understand
thank you so much, sierra, you are all right, it was the same doubt we faced last year, the trade off btw relaxing and living the indian way of life or visiting as many places as you can...
thank you again
max

trying to book the 6351 NAGARCOIL EXP and ia m told to be WL39/WL40 in sleeper class, so i cannot book an e-ticket. is it better to book a 2ac or is it ok the WL with an i ticket?

steven_ber · Oct 10th, 2007, 20:09

Too much to read through.....do not book that train.

Where are you trying to get from and to?

maltabella · Oct 10th, 2007, 20:18

hi steven, my train guru!
the Train 6351 departs Tirupati (on Sunday) at 12:30 and gets to Kanchipuram at 15:18 (2A, 3A, SL.). I would have liked SL but i would also be sure to get tha train...:-)thank you very much again for your help

I'd just book in 2A, it's only Rs308 (SL costs Rs121).

Looking at the waitlists for the trains going up till 4th November, I think the waitlist for SL will come down, but I wonder if it would come down enough to get confirmed berths, there's no guarentees.

The Indian Railway website displays waitlists in the following way.

WL39/WL30 means....

You join the waitlist at position 39, but there have already been 9 cancellations, so your actual position is 30.

Be careful when you ask about waitlists, you mentioned WL39/WL40, I'm guessing you mean that one of the tickets you can get is WL39 and the other one is WL40, can you see where people can get confused.

thank you so much steven, everything is clearer now

.

Does maltabella need confirmed berths? It is only a 3 hour trip, and I remember that I was told to get on a train for a day journey with a waitlist ticket, by both stationmaster and ticket-collector.

maltabella · Oct 11th, 2007, 13:52

Hi Atala,
I thought it was possible too. Last year during my day trips in SL I saw many many poeple standing without a seat and I wonder they could have reserved the ticket! Maybe someone may give us an answer....

Is SL standing for Sri Lanka? That's different, there you need reservation only on Intercity-trains, where no standing is possible (as far as I know).
