3 days back, I purchased 2 tickets of my family in Siddheshwar exp
1) thru irctc – 182 seats were available. Inspite of giving seat preferences, I couldn’t get LB. I got some bekaar seats (2mb, 5mb, 8su). Since my kid is 1.2 years old, seats near door are potential danger.
2) thru ticket counter – so I try to book the same ticket, in hope that I may get some flexibility about LB & near door berths. 170 seats avl. again after trying, no LB & no SL (side lower). First
...
more...
try offered near door & no any LB. second try gave 61mb, 62ub, 64su, second compartment after door. So I took it.
Inspite of more than 170 seats avl, I couldn’t get any of my choice. I could understand if some 30-40 seats are left. I’m disappointed. It’s high time IRCTC should provide seat choices (like diagram/map) as in online bus ticket booking. After all, online users are paying a premium.
Does anybody have an idea about how to get choice seats, even if by experience?

even for me also I got preferred berth when I book online. Mostly I prefer SLB and I got it... especially when I used to travel by 16222 Kaveri Express from MAS-SBC, when I book in 3A, & opt for SLB. 9 out of 10 times I got B2/31.
Even while traveling in SHTB I prefer WS and I got, but got changed to aisle due to child traveling.

i think IRCTC should now provide berth/seat selection by map (just like bus booking). they can release the seat map after puting various quotas in place. Even with no LB, i can book berths in middle of bogie, for the sake of my small kid moving here n there.
