This is the most common category of WL and has the highest chance of confirmation

One of the very old description which I had probably seen in IRFCA. Not only it is flawed but also vague, ambiguous and confusing. Too much mixing up of phrases like 'close to origination station' and or 'close to terminating station' and similar things.
Also discards the fact that RLWL/RLGN and RSWL/RQWL are the same thing.

Agreed, Dipyaman. The descriptions are sketchy and ambiguous. That is why I am requesting knowledgeable guys like you and many others at IRI to refine this explanation and add value with your own inputs.
I was wondering what is the definition for 'Roadside Station' by IR? Does it mean a station on the side of a Road?
To add to this useful piece of info provided by PKV Sir there was something on PQWL which i had found.Sharing something on the same.Some of you may have already seen it before. It was in this same site.

For starters, if you purchase a PRS Ticket, it will show RQWL while if you check the PNR online, it will show RSWL.
Same goes for RLGN and RLWL
Also, you would never find a confirmed ticket issued against RQ/RS/RL(GN,WL).
