Few clarifications:
Many of these passengers will actually travel with waitlist tickets. I also go to my place in Konkan every year for Ganesh festival and there are 40/50 passengers who have wl ticket in every sleeper compartment. This train has 8 SL compartments (for 0103) so there are almost 400 people travelling WL in sleeper class.
Also the train travels 700 KM. Many people who have done bookings get down at Khed, Chiplun, Sangameshwar and Ratnagiri. No body boards the train at these stations during festival days. Hence WL passengers going...
more... to Sindhudurga district occupy these seats for almost half of the journey. Hence such high WL.
