CHANDIGARH: If you are planning to get a train ticket for a year-end retreat, you may want to rethink your plan, as the trains leading to far-off destinations in east, west and south of the country are not just full, but have long waiting lists.In all, seven trains depart from Chandigarh in these directions. The biweekly Chandigarh-Bandra superfast express has its waiting list running around maximum these days. While there is little hope of ticket confirmation in sleeper class,the scenario in AC coaches is no better. With Christmas and New Year approaching, many have booked their tickets in advance. The Indian Railways' decision to allow booking of tickets 120 days in advance has come as a blessing in disguise. While those who got tickets booked in advance utilized the facility, those who made recent plans don't stand a chance to get a confirmed ticket for next two weeks at least.
