on 5959/5960...1

sitting on the 5959 can be quite interesting for an uninitiated traveler and quite often an instructive one too. for example it can give an ample glance to how the sleeper class compartments of a train can be used as a potential market place. No ambiguities please by market I mean a place of exchange. And the customers why the passengers! the reader perhaps will put me down as a busybody but before that I would like to recommend to him a journey in that train. For one I genuinely believe he will be bewildered by the sheer volume of the items as by the spectrum of variety. And yes also by the way they are bargained. You should not be surprised at all if the a good bargainer can pocket an item for one third or perhaps even one fifth of the quoted price. The hawkers as they are known aboard the 5959 quote sky high prices for everything they have on display. And what a range of display everything from china bum to casio synthezizer to landline handsets to toys to shirt pieces. You name the object and you get it on the train. Such is the fame of the market of the 5959 express....
