• In consideration of tickets is just a tool, not lib, so not much necessary to suport Pyhton2 anymore.
• Train query date surport max 50 days offset today, less or more will be considered as a invalid date.
• If you don't use delimiter, make sure your date is not ambiguous. e.g. By 2016115 you mean 2016-1-15 or 2016-11-5 ? By default, it parsed to 2016-11-5.
