I was travelling with my family on Mar 05 under PNR 211-5231451 on Train No. 14707. Ticket was booked on line for travel from Merta Road to Vapi with boarding at Marwar Jn. Due to sudden change in our schedule, we boarded the train at Jodhpur which is in between Merata Road station and Marwar Junction. As the fare was paid by me from Merta Rd to Vapi my boarding at Jodhpur should not be treated as W/O ticket. TT Mr. Kailash Chand Nag... forced me to pay for ticket less travel with penalty for amount 1, 437.00 under N.W.Railway Excess fare Ticket B 040821.
Am I supposed to pay twice for the same journey and that too with additional penalty simply because I boarded the train at a stattion different than selected by me while booking the ticket. If some kind of rule by Railways exists it is to be rectified and the Railways to be more traveller friendly.
