what is rlwl in train

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 are usually important towns or cities on that particular railway route. Most trains have remote locations that have important stations where they stop and pick up more passengers en route. Each train will have a number of reserved seats for these locations, but the seats are few. The confirmation of RLWL tickets depends on the cancellations of confirmed tickets, and the chances of getting an RLWL ticket confirmed are very slim because the number of RLWL tickets on the train is few compared to the other destination tickets. A final chart is put up two to three hours before the time the train is set to depart.
