Can i enter the sleeper class compartment with a waitlist ticket for the same class?

Question

I have a waitlist ticket for the sleeper class in Trivandrum express. On the day of travel if I'm still in the waiting list can

I enter the sleeper class?(I know I won't get a seat/berth, just that can I enter the class as I am paying the same amount as other reserved passengers ).

Answer 1

A ticket marked RAC entitles you to board the train and as per the seniority in cancellation you are likely to be allotted a berth.A ticket in waiting list doesnot make you eligible to enter a train. Waiting means you are not given and not assured of getting a reservation. Rac is ensuring you that you are likely to get a berth against cancellation. One is making you wait the other trying to accomodate ,for our understanding.be sure to check the confirmation chart before boarding the train as many times you are likely to get confirmation and we miss it in the rush to catch the train.

Answer 2

You are allowed to enter the reserved coaches only if your ticket status is confirmed or RAC but not wait-listed.

Answer 3

Hi there,

The answer is a firm "NO"...

you are paying the same charges as the other passengers "minus berth charges" which the other passengers have already paid...understood ?

Only if you get confirmation, the berth charges will be collected from you, (when you are confirmed and get into the compartment...)

As far as possible, avoid such a scenario, as we will become the laughing stock of the other passengers..

best wishes...
