Will my W/L status get to confirmed berths?

The train is Amritsar Mail 3005 leaving Howarah 1910 on the 26/11/09 to Varanasi BSB. Class 2A

What are the chances of our tickets getting confirmed? Or should i book another train?

thanks in advance.

##Fortunately, you are in General Waiting List only.

##But the problem is Saturday, 28th is a public Holiday AND 29th is Sunday. If leave is taken on Friday,27th, then three days-off can be availed.

##If you are interested to travel in 3AC, then get yourself waitlisted in 2333 Howrah-Allahabad City via Varanasi Vibhuti Express:

dhruvapaul

Just awesome...so the bottom line is that getting berths on that train are slim. Am i correct?...so i should book other berths on another train with availability???

vsp27759

##Correct.

##That's right.

dhruvapaul

I've got all my 8 trains confirmed now, so no sweat.
that was really important info you passed onto me.

Happy travels
