What to Do If a Delayed Train Affects Your Next Connecting Train?
2 Answers
Hold the boarding pass (ticket that has been checked) of the delayed train or request and obtain a delay certificate from the conductor of the delayed train. Take the ticket for your next connecting train and valid ID documents to the station service counter to apply for an unconditional rescheduling or refund.
Encountering delays affecting transfers can indeed be troublesome. Last time, I was stuck on the highway for two hours and almost missed my ferry ticket. I immediately used navigation to find a service area, called the ferry company to reschedule for the next ferry, and re-planned my route to bypass the congested section. When driving, it's best to allow an extra hour as a buffer and note flexibility for hotel bookings when making reservations. Even if you're in a hurry, avoid speeding. If necessary, find a place to rest and continue the next day—safety is more important than anything else.
