only a small percentage of tickets for sale by the railways (and most bus services) are offered on the internet. You may book on the internet and be 100 on the waiting list, but if you go to the counter (or if your wife's cousin brother is behind the counter) you are assured of a ticket unless it is one of the rush days/routes. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
