Indian Railways
Waiting list seat allocation

My parents (Age 58 / 52) have booked two berths in AC 2 tier on 07-04 with journey date of

08-05 from Chennai Central to Kazipet Jn. Train number 12759, Train name CHARMINAR EXPRESS

At the time of booking, ticket status was PQWL 1/2 with still a month for journey date.

They berth was not confirmed till the date of the journery (08.05.2011) while they had status of PQWL 1/2.

for a month.

TO THE SUPRISE IN THE CHARTING LIST WE SAW &> WL 23/24 TICKETS, WERE MOVED FORWARD AND GIVEN SEAT IN AC 2 TIER. WE WENT AND ASKED THE TT INCHARGE ON THE DAY, HE HAS NO ANSWER AT FIRST, THEN LATER HE TOLD THOSE PERSONS MAY BE RAILWAYS OFFICERS.

This is notorious, disappointing stuff from railways. Irregards of who the persons are what sought of influence they have inside railways or anywhere they need to allocate berths in sequencial order.

Pushing from nowhere (WL 23/24) and confirming them berths has angered even the persons WL persons.

I expect railways to change their bloody damn system, make their system reliable enough so that it takes WL numbers in serial order, without any manual interference of allocation.
