Status Changed From Rac To W/l

manpreetsingh

Hi folks,

I had booked a ticket which at the time of booking was not confirmed and was having the status as RAC 5.
but when i checked for the ticket today it was showing the following details.
S.NO___________BOOKING STATUS____________Current status
PAssenger 1_____W/L1 , GNWL__________CNF

What is the meaning of this?

That the current availability for that class/train is WL1, but your ticket is CNF (confirmed)?

Really not sure... hopefully one of our train experts will see and respond

My guess:

when you bought the ticket you were WL 1, but there had already been some cancellations, which put you on RAC 5 at that point in time.

Now your are still the person who bought WL 1, but there have been even more cancellations, so that your ticket has become CNF: confirmed, meaning you have a berth now. Your berth number will be assigned at chart preparation.

Both Baba and the 'Loud-mouthed, Noisy Bird' are correct, you now have a confirmed ticket.

Train information.

Posting on these train threads is, for me, like handing my work in at school.

I wait for Teacher Steven, or one of his colleagues, to come and tell me if I got it right!

Nick is an attentive pupil and his work shows it.

That's better than the "See Me" and "Could Do Better" I used to get at real school.

Somehow, mind you, I refrained from writing, "Yes I know, but can't be bothered" under the latter .

I do feel sorry for people who have teach kids like me!

I had the odd 'Satisfactory' (never managed one in spelling), and I still hate that word.

Dear Manpreet,

##As is the 'common practice' on India Mike, you have NOT indicated:

i) The Number of the Train;
ii) The Starting Point and Terminating Point of your Journey;
iii) The Class in which you have booked the ticket;
=======
##At the time of booking, your status was WL.1/RAC.5, but now, this has improved to WL.1/CNF.
=====
##Three or four hours before the scheduled departure of the train at your Journey Starting Station, please check the PNR Status, you will know the Coach Number & Berth Number.
