Can a person with a WL ticket board the train? Yes of course. He can board and is entitled to travel but only when such a ticket has been booked through counter. If it is by online mode it will get cancelled automatically if it does not get confirmed on the last day of travel after chart preparation .
The short answer is no, you can't travel with tickets that are in a waiting list. Unfortunately, this is how the system works. If the tickets in the waiting list are not confirmed before your departure, the airline may not allow you to board the plane.
No, it's not recommended to travel on a train with a waitlisted (RLWL) ticket as there's no guarantee of a seat or berth. If your ticket doesn't get confirmed before departure, you won't be allowed to board the train. If the WL ticket was booked online, it would get cancelled automatically, so you cannot travel on it.
If your RLWL (Remote Location Waitlist) ticket is not confirmed by the time of the train's departure, the ticket will be automatically cancelled, and the refund will be processed by the Indian Railways. You do not need to file a TDR (Ticket Deposit Receipt) in this case.
