Thoughts on missing your //insert mode of transportation here//

Having narrowly avoided missing my flight in Rome, I was recollecting on a situation in Genoa where I wasn't so lucky and thought I would pass on a morsel of knowledge:

When travelling by train in Europe, don't rely on the posted train schedules that are plastered to the walls or behind glass. ALWAYS LOOK AT THE DEPARTURES BOARD. This is the board that's updated on a regular basis and usually has the giant, flipping characters. Don't assume that you are on the right train by jumping on the right car that's in the right track at the right time.
