A quite a Funny Incident happened with me last Month while Traveling on 12267/ Mumbai-Ahmadabad Duronto. I with 2 of my Colleagues Boarded the Train at around 10:55 PM as soon as it halted at the platform from the shed at BCT. Our berth's were A2 21,22,23. A gentleman came and asked me that A2 21,22 are allotted to him. I asked him to show me his ticket to cross-check. I checked the date which was same, checked the berth and coach which were same as he was claiming. Puzzled I then checked the destination which was INDB.
Then I realized he has boarded the wrong train as INDB Duronto/12227 was standing on another platform (All Duronto's looks same due to

the unique paint). It was 11:07 at that time and I asked him to rush to PF#2 fast as departure time was 11:15.
BCT being a terminus station helped him as he hadn't had to climb staircase. He rushed and boarded the train :-)

Cant rely on chart everytime. Once I was at Ernakulam Jn, night 11.30 all alone at a place where the people dont understand Hindi and English and I dont know mallyalam, travelling by Guruvayur Chennai Express. The train halts only for 5 mins. The train arrived but the coach did not stop at the desired place, so runing behind the train for 2 mins . Left 3 mins. Then I saw the chart pasted on coach and was suprised as I did not find my name. But still I boarded the train and as soon as i boarded, the train moved. Went to my bearth, people were sleeping as expected since it was 11.30pm. and found 1 person already sleeping on my place. I was in fix. I woke him up, in the mean time the TTE came. I showed him my ticket, my name was in his list. Then on...

asking him that my name not appearing in the door chart, he replied "that is yesterdays chart and todays chart is not pasted".
