Train tickets

[Dangermouse]

Is there any where in the economic development zone to get train tickets? or do you have to go down town or the station for them?
Planning a trip to Bengbu for a couple of days.

You can have them delivered by agents COD for a premium. Used to cost about 40rmb extra.

You can get them through some hotels, again for a premium. You do not need to be a guest.

I've booked a few trips through different hotels some with exceptional service.
Pick-up and delivery to various locations with best price hotel.  Return trip pre-booking, organised a private car and driver for a day to return us to the airport on time.

Check out some of the better hotels in the area, pay for the service if it pays for itself.
