RQ Railway Quota InsightUnderstanding Indian Railways reservation quotas

Which reservation quota controls your boarding station?

Indian Railways does not publish how reservation quotas are divided along a train's route. This service watches how availability behaves at different boarding points and works out which stations appear to share a pool — and tells you how confident it is.

What has been collected

Timetable coverage is near-complete. Availability collection is deliberately slow: every enquiry needs a person to answer a verification question on the Railways site, so the observed dataset grows by roughly one operator session a day. Most trains have no availability data yet.

What the labels mean

OBSERVED
Exactly what the Indian Railways enquiry returned, at the moment shown. Recorded as given, never edited.
INFERRED
A conclusion this system reached by comparing observations across boarding points. Likely, not certain.
ESTIMATED
A number derived from observations — always a lower bound. "At least 24 berths" means 24 were once seen free, not that the quota is 24.
PRESUMED
A station assumed to share a pool because it sits between two stations that do — but never actually checked.
