railway ` — to know about pqwl waiting list

Dear sir, i madereservation from miraj to itarsi, from date 05 May 2011. it is waiting PQWL 1 , But previuos tome i suffred from this PQWL waiting list i caould not confirm me waiting list, why, this time i am also hesitate about the same.

The complaints are properly shown.What about the action taken-step of the concerned department? Please let me see the status of action taken on these complaints.

What is this nonsence before booking the e-ticket they are showing the WL and after the ticket is booked they give PQWL of which we are not aware of that means the ticket will not be confirmed in any circumstances and you have to pay the cancellation charges

Indian Railways — IRCTC food

Dear Sir,

While traveling in the Horah Mysore Special train (Train no: 08003) my seat no: A1/ 0046 2 tier AC. PNR.No:[protected].I had ordered for a Veg lunch to the Pantry guy on 26/03/2011. After I had finished the lunch the person (Madhusudhan Mallick) turned up to collect the tray as well as the money. I asked him the charges of the same and was amazed to listen as I was asked to pay Rs.50/- for the food which he provided worth about Rs.25/- only.

He has supplied only rice ( it is also half boiled), dhal, pickle, paneer masala (2 piece of paneer only).Usually in all the trains Roti, rice, veg.curry, dhal, curd , pickle, water cup will be provided.

In this train, there was no water provided. No Roti in the thali, No curd & No vegetable as side dish.

Even supplied food also was very bad quality. The rate Rs.50/- is a price fixed by IRCTC or any corruption is going on?


I hope railway will take stern action to stop these kind of filthy behaviour/services given to customers.

These small impediments should be completely stopped so that the high level of service and standard of the Indian Railways can be maintained. Also the efforts of the Railway Ministry to make it one of the biggest and most customer friendly service can be achieved.

Being an responsible citizen of our country I presume that it is my duty to bring to your notice these issues to help you to help us to make better and efficient railway.

Please set an example so that each and every person attached with the Railways thinks twice before doing any wrong to any customer in terms of service or behaviour.

Hoping for some urgent action in the above matter.

Regards,
Dhanasekaren

Showing waiting list PQWL38, and my journey date is 02-May-2011 so it will confirm or not?

Suggest me should I cancel this ticket.

A Pooled Quota Waiting List ('PQWL') is shared by several small stations in a particular region. E.g., Tiruppur, Salem, etc., share in the quota and wait list for some trains originating from Trivandrum or Mangalore. As another example, the 2723 Andhra Pradesh Exp. has three quotas, for Secunderabad - New Delhi, Secunderabad - nagpur, and Secunderabad - Bhopal. There is also a pooled quota for passengers travelling from Secunderabad to stations beyond Bhopal but short of Jhansi. If this quota is exhausted, a passenger is placed in the pooled quota waiting list. Pooled Quotas normally operate only from the originating station of a route, and there is only one Pooled Quota for the entire run. The Pooled Quota is intended to be utilized by passengers travelling from the originating station to a station short of the terminating station, or from an intermediate station to the terminating station, or between two intermediate stations. Such remote location quotas are also provided when there is a very strong demand for the train in question, because of which, without such additional quotas, all seats or berths might be fully consumed by passengers from the originating station leaving nothing available for those wishing to travel from intermediate points. Vacant Pooled Quota berths are automatically tapped by the PRS for booking end-to-end passengers. Passengers in the Pooled Quota Waiting List are cleared against the vacancies in the earmarked Pooled Quota only, or against General Quota vacancies available at the time of charting.So no Cheating...change the typical Indian attitude...say I am the most intelligent and others all are fools.

Irctc Indian Railways — not getting TDR refund

I have filled the TDR for the PNR no.

please tell me how can i get back my money from irctc indian railways
amount deducted from my bank account after that step next window not came and ticked not booked but my account in hdfc bank they deducted my account with above mentioned amount

I am also facing same problem. I had booked ticket before a month in pqwl. Still it is showing same status as on 1st day of booking.
Every time same problem with Falaknuma, from sec to vzm. Last minute have to go for tatkal/ bus. I have doubt on IRCTC thre might be a chance that IRCTC joined with brokers/agents as am facing this problem since 2009.

They are'nt selling product at the right cost

i have booked my ticket on 19/04/2012 from sevagram to varanasi for 08/06/2012 in and it shows PQWL/1.WILL THHIS TICKET WILL CONFORM OR NOT or should i cancle my ticket? and WHAT DOES MEAN BY POOLED QUOTA WATING LIST? PLEASE CONFORM

Indian railway is looting the normal passenger/people of country by making such laws which are profitable for an organization ie for railway by fooling the citizens. Can any body plan journey before 4 months? I don't think so? but if you go to indian railways reservation counter and asked for reservation for one month in advance, " he will tell you that it's waiting list, do you want ticket. Special it gives too much loss to personnel of Indian Navy because people never get leave granted 02 months in advance therefore they are never ever able to get confirmed ticket

I do not understand why the railways have to provide Pooled Quota when General Waiting List could be provided for at the starting point of a train.

Am also book a ticket now it is PQWL3, 4, 5 it will be confirm or not plz respond

I have also faced the same problem like I have booked a ticket in YPR-HWH express when the reservation use to start means 90days before. I got a ticket having PQWL/1.
I was not knowing about what is this bogus thing PQWL. I thought of that it will be confirmed.
But at the time of journey from the Boarding point itself the TTE didn't allow me to step into the train.
So IRCTC department should have to look into this matter and should remove this bogus things

I booked my tickets 3 months 10 days before the date of journey from bangalore to vizag. It was PQWL 58.. when the time came for journey, it moved to WL/25. I think, PQWL is cheating concept.

I also encountered the same problem, PQWL is absurd. The intermediate stations traveling public also make the same payment as long distance travellers, then why this discrimination.
