GNWL meaning

GNWL usually refers to General Wait List and is commonly seen for passengers booking from or near a train's source-side quota. Confirmation depends on cancellations and quota rules.

RLWL meaning

RLWL means Remote Location Wait List. It is usually linked to intermediate stations and can move differently from GNWL because its quota is separate.
