I was travelling from Eindhoven to Schiphol to catch my flight back home. I was to change trains at Utrecht to go to Schiphol. The train from Utrecht was supposed to leave from "Spoor" (Platform) 5. The announcement had been in Nederlands and hence I asked a fellow traveler, a Dutchman with an Indonesian wife and a lovely baby) if I had it right. I had.
I go to platform 5 and the platform has been changed to 4a. I do not know and am waiting.
The Dutchman I had consulted, comes looking for me on platform 5 and tells me to hurry to platform 4a!!! After thanking him as profusely as I can in a hurry I rush to the other platform and catch the train.
But for him there was a distinct possibility that I would have missed the train and the flight!
Thank you my unknown benefactor, wherever you are and whoever you are!!!
