A ticket from Firozpur to Lahore used to cost Re 1 in 1947. That too in INTER CLASS. If my memory is right, Interclass used to be a class between First and Second Class. Those days there used to be four classes. First, Inter, Second and Third. Third used to be affectionately called Gandhi class. See Pic of ticket. Courtesy Tweet as can be seen

It started as Howrah-Delhi 'bi-weekly air-conditioned vestibuled' express and was extended to Amritsar on certain days of the week, a few years later. By 1967, a new Deluxe via Patna was introduced. As of 1975, The tri-weekly 81/82 via Gaya was running till Amritsar once a week, and the bi-weekly 103/104 via Patna was running to Amritsar once a week.
Sometime after the frequency of the Deluxe via Patna was increased to 4 days a week in 1989, the Deluxe started terminating at Delhi daily and in the vacant slots, the Paschim express was extended to Amritsar on a daily basis.
