1) WL.........General Waiting List...........

This is started only

after RAC List reaches its Maximum Limit. In other words,
if there are cancellations, the WL will come down to RAC
and if there are further cancellations, it will come down to
Confirmed Status. WL is maintained at the ORIGINATING
STATION ONLY.

2) RLWL....Remote Location Waiting List.........The

difference between WL and RLWL is that RLWL is from
Intermediate Stations to Intermediate Stations/Terminating
Station. RAC is maintained even for Remote Location
Quota.

3) RQWL.........Request Waiting List...........When there is a

specific Quota upto a particular Intermediate Station, then
once that Quota is over, RQWL is maintained which gets
confirmed only when there are cancellations in the earlier
confirmed bookings. No RAC before RQWL.

4) PQWL..........Pooled Quota Waiting List..........In certain long distance trains passengers from
Originating Station to Intermediate Station, between Two Intermediate Stations and Intermediate
Station to Terminating Station are placed booked under this Quota. Once the Quota gets
exhausted, the PQWL commences and there will not be any RAC before PQWL. Normally those
under PQWL will also get confirmation against Bookings under General Quota, if they can fit in
that bookings.
