So of course there's one more wait list challenge for our train travel. We have booked two trains to get us back down to Kolkata, but we are still on wait list for both! So expectantly we head to NJ P station and check online and we are on RAI cancellation for all for tickets on our best option for the return journey. So we head to the station masters office and he trawls through the paper print outs and we have two confirmed seats - brilliant news as it's still peak time on the trains with Durga Puga just finishing. So we wait patiently for the slightly delayed train, and are helped by some fellow passengers to leg it down the platform, as the direction of the train has changed from the previous one and our A1 carriage is at the opposite end. Then we squeeze all of our bags on and get comfortable on our two births, when the ticket inspector comes round and we ask if there's any spare births he replies "no chance" and we make the most of the space that we have, relieved that we have got a place on the train.
