This train seems to have an 'HA1' coach, which I guess is a combined 1AC and 2AC coach. Question - how many 1AC cabins does this train have? For this train, availability always shows as '2' - does that mean 2 berths or 2 cabins?
generally ha coach comprises of 2 cabins of 4 berths each and 1 coupe of 2 berths...a total of 10 berths...out of this 10 berths two are generally reserved for ho quota and rest 8 are for general quota...the rest of the coach comprises of 2a berths
This train has 1 cabin (4 person) & 1 Coupe (2 Person) & rest 2 AC...
I just made booking for 16-May for 4 ppl - 1AC. Availability as always showed 2. When I made booking, it showed confirmed for 2 and WL for 2. Which means that only the coupe was avbl for booking. So does that mean that the cabin for 4 ppl is not open for general reservation?
Just solved the 1AC mystery of VRL - BCT. Involved research, but paid off.
There are 3 cabins in this train in 1AC (part of HA1 - which also has 2AC) - One 4 berth and Two Coupes - total of 8 berths.
This train joins Saurashtra Mail at Rajkot and therefore, the quota system kicks in. Only 2 1AC berths are avbl from VRL to BCT. That's why the availability always showed '2' 1AC berths.

1. One cabin and two coupe makes 10 berths in total.
2. It isnt mandatory for you to get the same set of berths for both legs.
