Get confirmed rail ticket from different Seat Quota

Quite a times we see the seat quota from a particular source station to a destination station fills is a matter of minutes even though it is a normal reservation 2 months before.This usually happens because of the passenger rush among these two stations.

For instance ,if one boards 12833 Ahmedabad-Howrah express to go from Surat to Nagpur , he may not find any confirmed ticket easily as this may be one of the busiest seat quota for this train.
To deal with such a situation,its better to extend or book the ticket from one of  previous source stations to get confirmed ticket for the portion of journey one intends to take.

For example for the example discussed above,one can book Ahmedabad as Boarding station and Raipur as destination.This way his chances of getting the confirmed ticket increases as this may not fill up as fast as the Surat-Nagpur quota. All one has to incur is the additional fees for the increased distance he has booked for.This usually is a better option than going for Tatkal ticket as your chances in the former are guaranteed as compared to Tatkal where the tickets may vanish in a matter of seconds and you are left with no option.
