Glossary · Waitlist codes
The waitlist for journeys between intermediate stations: a small pool, so the same number clears far less often than GNWL.
Issued for journeys between intermediate stations. Clears only against cancellations in that remote-location quota — a much smaller pool than GNWL, so identical waitlist numbers confirm noticeably less often.
Same charting behaviour as GNWL: fully waitlisted e-tickets drop automatically with a refund minus clerkage.
