How many general coaches are there in this train ? If one is holding a wait listed ticket which may get cancelled , can one plan on buying sec seating ticket and get into general coach ?

I see today very surprisingly that tatkal seats for this train are still available. Is it because the general waiting list is likely to get confirmed seats by the time of preparation of chart ? Or is it because one is likely to get seats in general coach without much problem ?

Can't say about the tatkal tkts but whatever i told is my personal experience a year back in the month of october end though i got my seats reserved but i saw that people were sitting pretty well in Gen coaches.
If u travel with family in these trains, it is wonderfull experience. Don't go with ac shivalik exp on this route, if u want to enjoy tunnels, greenery etc.
