Once I had got a very bad experience in this train, almost 5 years earlier, from Pune-to-Howrah,III-AC, on 1st week of June, I had Waitlisted #4, #5 & #6, for almost last 5/6 days from departure date. It was just moved by 2 numbers after chart preparation.
Most of the prediction responses (5 out of 7) are 'confirm'. I am worried as both of them are elderly persons and they can not travel without confirm seat. Just like to have a probable reason 'confirm' response.
1. Is it due to 'both of...
more... the passengers' are elderly persons.
2. There is "permanent augmentation with one 3A coachWed Apr 01, 2015" but this has not been counted in total seat in Reservation process.
3. Its natural to have more than 20 cancellations or unused quota during the month of May.
4. Any other reasons.
I am thinking to go for one confirmed Tatkal ticket.
