Today I visited HWH station at 12 noon in a quest for procuring copies of the new TTs w.e.f 1st July 2013. My shopping list consisted of the following items :
1. TAAG - Revised price not yet announced
2. East Zone TT - Rs. 40
3. SE Zone TT - Rs. 40
4....
more... South Zone TT - Rs. 40
5. West Zone TT - Rs. 40
6. North Zone TT - Rs. 40
7. Kolkata Suburban TT (ER/SER/Metro) - Rs. 12
Enquired at 4 counters & stalls (including Wheelers') but no luck. The stock reply everywhere was " Enquire in the first week of July "
Finally struck PAY DIRT at the PF counter of the NEW COMPLEX where by way of a rather poor consolation, I managed to pick up item No. 7 at a cost of Rs. 12, after spending Rs. 28/- by way of transport charges and Rs. 5/- for a PF ticket .
RAIL PASSION or FANATICISM ?
