Dear Ramaswamy,
In response to your query I tried contacting the Station Masters at both Chandigarh and Kalka Rly stations to get first-hand information in the matter. But sadly as usual there was no response. It appeared to me that these 2 stations were closed for the summer vacations. However some of our more learned admins have confirmed that your coach will be axed at Chandigarh. If you still wish to proceed to Kalka, hop on to another Kalka bound coach with the prior permission of the TTE and due extension of your ticket(s) upto Kalka, on payment of excess fare without the benefit of telescopic fare.
Wish...
more... you a very happy holiday. On your return, you are welcome to narrate, on this site, your travel experiences by what was once the PRIDE OF IR (please note the use of the PAST TENSE). However, you are at liberty to share your experiences with me in person. HAPPY HOLIDAY.
Yours faithfully,
P.K.VENKATRAMANI
