what is rlwl

RLWL stands for Remote Location Waiting List, which is a type of waiting list ticket issued for intermediate stations between the originating and terminating stations. These stations are usually important towns or cities on that particular railway route. The confirmation of RLWL tickets depends on the cancellations of confirmed tickets, and there are fewer chances of confirmation for such waitlisted tickets. Remote location stations prepare their own chart 2-3 hours prior to the actual departure of the train. RLWL tickets are given a separate priority, and their confirmations depend on the cancellations of a confirmed ticket.
