My senior citizen parents are going to travel via 12222 hwh-pune duronto on 27th mar. Though there are lot of seats left, I could not manage to get "at least a lower berth" for them with 4 attempts for past 3 days. the avalibility came down to 189 from 235 in 3A , but the problem remains. I tried with choice 1 middle & 1 lower and clicked " at least a lower berth" but failed to get. How come they are not allotting a lower berth even after 189 seats left? Can you please help.

Here is an immediate solution:
1. There are 6 lower berths available under Sr. Citizen (SS) quota for 27th march.
2. to avail Lower Berth (LB) quota, a Sr. Citizen has to be travelling alone.
3. So you need to make two separate booking for your parents.
4.

If you opt for Sr. Citizen Quota concession by checking the check box in passenger information page, by default the passenger would be considered for LB quota (60 yrs for Male, 58 yrs for Female)
5. First you make your Dad's booking (Above 60 yrs age), then immediately follow it up with your Mom's booking (Above 45 yrs age).
6. If you are lucky enough, you will get the berths allotted in the same coach in same section.
7. If you are unlucky, you can always exchange one berth with any generous passenger.
