Train scheduled to leave Russia before visa expiry but is delayed - what happens?
So my friend is going to Russia, and has booked the train ticket from Finland to St Petersburg (for those following my earlier question, I convinced her NOT to enter Russia a day earlier).
However, there's the still the Train from Russia to Moldova, which leaves Russia around 23:00 (at Bryansk).
My question is: what would happen at the border if a Train is scheduled to leave Russia while the visa's valid according to the timetable, but is delayed?
This is important because it'll decide whether she'll Exit a day earlier or not.
