Yes, I meant sleeper class. I think I read somewhere that bedrolls are provided...but I will go assuming no bedrolls.

This train seems to have an 'HA1' coach, which I guess is a combined 1AC and 2AC coach. Question - how many 1AC cabins does this train have? For this train, availability always shows as '2' - does that mean 2 berths or 2 cabins?

Re# 346080-3              
I just made booking for 16-May for 4 ppl - 1AC. Availability as always showed 2. When I made booking, it showed confirmed for 2 and WL for 2. Which means that only the coupe was avbl for booking. So does that mean that the cabin for 4 ppl is not open for general reservation?

Re# 346080-4              
Just solved the 1AC mystery of VRL - BCT. Involved research, but paid off.
There are 3 cabins in this train in 1AC (part of HA1 - which also has 2AC) - One 4 berth and Two Coupes - total of 8 berths.
This train joins Saurashtra Mail at Rajkot and therefore, the quota system kicks in. Only 2 1AC berths are avbl from VRL to BCT. That's why the availability always showed '2' 1AC berths.
But
...
more...
the quota VRL to RJT is 8 berths and RJT to BCT is 6 berths.
So I did the workaround - separately booked VRL to RJT and RJT to BCT. Got confirmations for 4 berths - which means that I will get the same cabin - for the full journey.
Phew!

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
