Shiv Ganga Express: mera bhola hai bhandari, karta Shiv Ganga ki sawari... Kashi Vishwanath Re, ohh bholenath Re... - Divyanshu Gupta

Today I wanted to book two 3AC tickets online for Sr citizen Passengers (age 87 year and 67 year old respectively) for this train from LTT to HWH (travel date 1st Feb 2013). There were 53 seats available then. While selecting the berth preference, I selected Lower berth for both the passengers and had selected "book ticket only if at least one lower berth is available". To my surprise, there was not even a single LB available. Unfortunately later I had to book whatever berth was available. On cross checking availability on this site for lower berth quota, it still showed 6 tickets available in LB quota. My question is, if LB ticket was still available, why was it not allotted to the Sr Citizen passenger aged 87 yrs? Sometime i fail to understand logic for such allotments. Can some one please throw some light on this?
