So, the hotel staff stepped in and bought all 14 tickets just for the newly-weds.

“We stayed at the Oberoi Wildflower Hall for our honeymoon. We asked them to book tickets in the Simla-Kalka toy train. Railways said the train will not run unless there were 14 passengers. The hotel thought for a bit and bought all 14 tickets just for us!” the post read.

The user also shared a receipt of the train tickets.
