Would that be 63 drunken Russians, and I'd probably get off.

65 people were on the train...

if theres 63 on now, take away the 17 that just got on meaning there was 46 people on the train after the 19 people got off, add the 19 back on the train before the 17 got on and you would have 65 people

65 people on the train
19 get off
46 People now on the train
17 get on
63 people now on the train

have i missed something or.... that wasnt hard at all??

there was no train

Yes you forgot about the people hanging on the outside

Why calculate sequential? always make each step as simple as possible. Doesn't make much difference in such a simple case but really helps you once it gets more complex.
Station diff: 17 - 19 = -2
So state before station 63 + 2 = 65
