"Standby" ok on earlier or later train?
Suppose I buy a ticket to ride train #5 scheduled to depart at noon, 7 days from date of purchase. If I show up at the station on the scheduled day of departure, and try to ride earlier on train#4 or later on train #6 on the same routing that I purchase, and assuming there are plenty of open seats for this one segment....
(1) will I be able to ride without problems, or will the
conductor say I can only ride train#5?
(2) assuming I can ride train#4, when the
AGR points post, will they post as riding train#4 or
as riding train#5?
Thank you.
