So, I booked the tickets from VG-BWT (boarding at Surat) in 2A. I decided to board at Surat because I am taking a night train from Jalor (JOR) that reaches ADI in the morning around 4, which would be too early with kids. The train reaches Surat around 8.
It was interesting that there were only 4 seats available between VG and BWT but 10 between ADI-KJM and 8 between ST-KJM (see attached). I was very inclined to try for the ST-KJM but getting into RLGN was a big risk that I wanted to avoid. Thankfully, I got confirmed seats on the VG-BWT and sure enough, all other sections got filled-up soon after.
I...
more... was surprised to get all 4 upper berths in my booking (3UB and 1SU). The quota is only 4 berths and all 4 were upper berths!
Lastly - can someone help me figure out how the berths are arranged? I have a 38 (UB), 40 (UB), 44 (UB) and 46 (SU). How is it that 46 is a SU? Does the last coupe only have 2 main berths and 2 side berths?
Thanks again, everyone!
