Hint

I had to wait for the driver to come back to the coach. He came, opened the luggage hold and we put our suitcases there. Then I gave my ticket to the driver and he told me that I was on the wrong bus. I, quickly, had to get off , grab my bags and run.

You have to be at the platform at least 10 minutes before departure. I was there on time but I think I didn't read the track information correctly on the departure board in the waiting room.
