It\u2019s happened to the best of us. Trains are an efficient way to explore, but travel mishaps, like missing stops or hopping on the wrong train, can derail your plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">How to avoid it:<\/span> Always double-check your travel dates and train times. Set an alarm to wake you before your station, especially on long trips.
