what is remote location wait list

Remote Location Waiting List (RLWL) is a specific waiting list quota for long-distance trains. When a ticket has the letters "RLWL" on it, it means that it can be used between two intermediate stations, which are usually the most important cities along the route. RLWL tickets are issued for intermediate stations (between the originating and terminating stations) because usually these are the most important towns or cities on that particular route. These waitlisted tickets are given a separate priority and confirmations depend on the cancellations of a destination confirmed ticket. Remote location stations prepare their own chart 2-3 hours before the actual departure of the train. For this type of ticket, there are less chances of confirmation. If there are still RLWL tickets on the waitlist after the chart is made, they are canceled right away and a refund is given.
