Glossary · Waitlist codes
The waitlist from the origin to a smaller roadside station: a modest quota with few cancellations against it.
Issued when booking from the originating station to a smaller “roadside” station en route. The quota is modest and cancellations against it are few, so it clears slower than GNWL.
Fully waitlisted e-tickets are auto-cancelled at charting with a refund minus clerkage.
