I cancelled this and bought 2A as I realised off-late that it makes no sense spending so much money on 2 berths while actually paying for 3 berths! IR might consider increasing PQ quota to atleast 6 berths to compensate the vast demand for intermediate stations. Paying end-to-end quota also does not make any sense. With the saved money I can stay 2 more nights in a hotel!
Greater cash flow can be generated by IR if they could provide more confirmed accomodation especially in PQ/RL quotas (increasing quotas) as trains are the most preferred mode of mass transport between intermediate stations.
