RailFans don't miss their train. Why? Because they go to the station HOURS before the actual departure of their Train - to watch OTHER trains depart. - Prince Maan

Dear Friends, I am leaving for Gangtok on Feb 15th 2012 to compete in 19th National Veterans table tennis championship to be held at Paljor Stadium, Gangtok. I am currently ranked 4th in Tamilnadu State level. I am determined to perform well and win accolades for my State. Kindly do tell me on what date will my train reach New Jalpaiguri? Do we have a pantry car? How's the food quality? I am travelling in 3rd sleeper A/C. Does the fare include food or do we have to pay seperately? Will I be given blankets and clean sheets and pillows? Well, Once I did have an experience of travelling without the same. Good and comfortable journey will always help in performing better. Also, I believe the weather in North east in February is chilly. Thank u and wish me well.
