A funny thing happened with an acquaintance of mine.
She had never boarded a long distance train alone before. She had to go towards Bombay side and had a 3A ticket in Kushinagar Express. Couple of folks went to the local station to drop her off[and personally see her into the train]. Kushinagar arrives at Babhnan before Avadh Express [another Bombay bound train]. That day, Kushinagar was delayed and Avadh Express arrived first. They stupidly put her in that train. They later claimed that there was no announcement and that there...

Yes, sometimes IR does change platform of trains at the last moment leading to rush of pax. Though in this case, none of that happened.
It was late evening time, ~1900 hrs for this to have happened.

I assume the folks were so busy in their phones that they disregarded the most basic of things: station announcements or train boards or asking the station master himself. ...

Two more I recall out of which one is too common. Two ICEs bound for Gorakhpur leave Lucknow and many passengers board at BNZ station of the city. One goes via main line and other loop line. Till today, despite announcements done multiple times that pax going to X should NOT board this train, people still end up boarding the wrong one.
And if God forbid, the natural order of the trains is reversed [like the loop line ICE comes first due to some reason like other one running late for...

In such cases the best bet would be to ask some railway employee like a pointsman or a station master.
Recently when I travelled in 16128, I wast sure of my coach position (B2). I recalled seeing it at the rear @ MS (in 16127); so I thought it would be at front. (No coach indicators @ srgm where I boarded )

This issue was totally the passenger carelessness. Other issues like PF change , is understandable.
With population like this train to cater, IR is running many special/passenger trains having just station code in their TB. Some are having 10-12 station code in one small TB with stencil so minute that one needs a telescope to read the numbers..
