Kundapur/Honnavar/karwar people...book frm udupi itself to mumbai (if in case there are waiting lists ) because udupi falls under general waitlist nd tickets will easily get confirmed even inspite of long WLs

if u find pqwl from mao to ltt in any of the coaches try to book ticket from udupi to thane 80-90% chances of getting confirmed ticket or if gnwl below 20-25 , 100% chances of getting confirmed............ only u have to shell out additional 110 rupees but far good than struglling for tatkaal ticket in the queue..............

PQWL#70 (for bookings Barkur onwards till LTT) and above in SL has very very less chances of confirmation in this train.
