Handwritten ticket Navoj - Urgench (Uzbekistan), issued at Navoj station (Uzbek railways). Departure on 23rd september 2005 with train 56 (Tashkent - Urgench) at 0:06,
carriage 8, "mesto ukazyvaet provodnik" (plazkartnyj; no place number indicated, conductor will provide bed).
We came from Buchara with another train, but it was not possible to get the onward ticket to Urgench there.
So we bought it during the 3-hour-layover at Navoj station. Also there the ticket was only sold one hour before departure, appearently after the train left the previous station,
so that the number of free places is known (Navij station does not have a computerised ticket office).
