If you can't get ticket from/to intermediate stations in pooled quota, try booking end-to-end in general quota which has a higher chance of confirmation (at a higher ticket cost though).
I booked ticket at 11.15pm on 7/4/2019 for travel in 12164 on 8/4/2019 from MS to DR (with boarding point at GTL). Booking was in GNWL10 and 11. It got confirmed after chart preparation at 2.45 am.
I ended up paying ₹1500 (MS-DR) instead of ₹1150 (GTL-DR) but had a confirmed ticket in a very short notice.

Coach positions have been reversed for 12163/12164.
At Dadar, 12163's coach positions used to be General-AC classes-Sleeper classes-General-Engine. Now it's the reverse, that is, General-Sleeper Classes -AC Classes-General-Engine.
From Chennai, 12164's coach positions used to be General-Sleeper Classes-AC Classes-General-Engine. Now it is General-AC Classes-Sleeper Classes-General-Engine.

Train halted at Lonavala for over an hour. Arrived 30m late, at 4am. It's 5.10am now. Don't know the exact reason but the weather says it has been raining here heavily.

Why is the Friday (21/07) departure delayed at Panvel by 2 hours? The train is still here, not sure when it will move.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
