What is the meaning of Regret/WL 1. Is it waiting list 1 or room regret? Should I take the ticket or not? 20 Answers What is the meaning of Regret/WL 1. Is it waiting list 1 or room regret? Should I take the ticket or not? It means that further booking is not allowed! need to correct you Regret/WL 1 means no booking allowed at any time and not further booking not allowed. IR can change this with Booking not allowed text. But does not know what is the reason when booking in not allowed they are showing this message. Want to know from experts the reason behind this. Yes. the same status also means further bookin is not allowed. ************************ As you know the first no. means the current booking status and the last no. means max. booking status reached. Regret/WL1 can... more... @Dipyaman Basu*: Re# 99487-5 Please check and Research again in IR. You will get REGRET/WL1 message only for those section where you does not have booking or no booking allowed and not the example shown by you. You can check for the 80 to 90 days journey AV to get more knowledge about this message. regret/wl 1--means no bookings allowed. # regret/wl (###)---means wl booking has been stopped at ### number. Still i have some doubts. We have seen statuses like WL54/WL21. It means the highest WL the train had seen till date was 54. Now as a result of some cancellations, it is at WL 21. We always refer to the lower WL. So if i interprert in that way, REGRET/WL1 Means It was at Regret. Now it is at WL1. Is there any status like REGRET/REGRET, which would mean no room Abhishek Chanda I guess this is the standards format IR is following. @guest: Re# 99487-4 The obvious reason is: the railway administration reserves right to book berth from this location in case of any emergency or any other similar reason.but as any quota is not fixed for this particular section/location hence booking in normal condition is not allowed.distance restriction might be another reason because the location is a importaint station. I doubt that...Regret is a different structure like CNF, RAC etc....it can never be W/L1/AVL 4...or may be RAC7/AVL 1 etc. because two state of the booking cannot be clubbed together...in the same way ...Regret/WL 1 may not mean highest level reached is Regret and now its W/L 1.. Moreover(Lets consider WL10/WL2)....this highest level(WL 10) and present status(WL2) funda is displayed only after booking and not while checking for availability...during checking it only shows WL2(as in this case)..which cannot justify the logic Regret/WL1(where Regret is the highest attainable status and W/L is presnt status) Sir, I agree to your point! However sometimes it is also displayed for sections where current/further booking is not permissible. This is applicable mostly to the stations which runs low in quota. (###) as stated by you can start from 1 and go till ne number. Regret is the current booking status. And wl1 is the max wl reached. (This however wont be applicable for tatkals in durontos and tatkals in durontos or the quotas like Defence etc. which are not applicable in AC1 Booking) Contd: Example: 12846 BHUBANESHWAR EX 18-01-2011 YESVANTPUR JN BHUBANESWAR DUTY_PASS S.No. Date (DD-MM-YYYY) Class - 3A Class -SL 1 18- 1-2011 REGRET/WL 1 REGRET/WL 1 2 25-... more... Thanks sir for providing the example to my last post! Contd: 2 nd Example how railway can use this status for themselves : 14312 ALA HAZRAT EXP 17-01-2011 ABU ROAD BAREILLY DUTY_PASS S.No. Date (DD-MM-YYYY) Class - 3A Class -SL 1 17- 1-2011 REGRET/WL 2 REGRET/WL 2 2 20-... more... Thanks for again providing example to some of my main points! In this case, the Regret status has both current status WL1 and Wl2. The Duty pass quota has a fixed quota and on combination of booking and cancellations, the current status varies! Regret mean no more ticket can be issued on net but you can get a ticket from PRS counter Regard's When it is REGRET, one cannot book from PRS also. As i written in my first reply Railway has right to unlock such REGRET/WL 1 to facilitate booking if need arises.The CRS has special power to unlock any REGRET status to book ticket(2562 is famous for such booking from BSB for general SL Quota).after booking the status becomes REGRET again. But two (or three too) different types of REGRET is visible: First: ... more... i have practically booked ticket from PRS when status was regret on IRCTC |
