Thanks!!
The policy is that you must have a ticket for the correct date and time for a reserved train that you want to board. If you try to board with your old ticket, you may be denied and forced to exchange your ticket or you may be allowed to board.
You are taking a risk, but I would bet that many on this board have also taken similar risks before. It's up to you.
