An ajji (old lady) got on the train from Harihar (unscheduled stop, I guess) without inquiring with anyone about her destination. Apparently she really needed to reach Haveri and was very distressed when she was told that this train doesn't have a stop at Haveri. (I wasn't sure, but the train route here says next station is Hubli). She got lucky though and the train stopped for a minute at BYD and she got down just before we passed HVR. I hope she found another train to get to her destination.
It sucks that I couldn't help her with any useful information.
Next...
more... time onwards, I plan to travel more informed about my route.
