Questions on Noun Postmodification using -ing Participle form

0Hello Friends,02br
02br
00I have got couple of questions regarding Post-modification of a noun/noun pharse by -ing participle form.02br
02br
00I guess, "Having been" is Perfect Gerund, can we use "Perfect Gerund" to postmodify a Noun/Noun phrase?02br
02br
00Can we use "Being" to postmodify a noun/noun pharse where the aspect of the clause is either past/perfect?02br
02br
00For example.02br
02br
01font00The match being played yesterday was not very exciting.02font02br
02br
01font00The match played yesterday was not very exciting.02font02br
02br
01font00The match having been played yesterday was not very exciting02font00.02br
02br
00Equivalent relative clause would be: 02br
02br
00The match which was played yesterday was not very exciting.02br
02br
00Can someone please tell me which sentence is the correct one?02br
02br
00Similarly,02br
02br
01font00The match being played (now) was not very exciting.02font02br
02br
01font00The match played (now) was not very exciting.02font02br
02br
00Which is correct?02br
02br
01font00Same doubts I have regarding the Infinitive.02font02br
01font02br
02br
01font00For example,02font02br
02br
00The train to arrive on platform one was from London02br
02br
00The train to have arrived on platform one was from London02br
02br
00Equivalent relative clause : The train which has/did arrived/arrive was from London.02br
02br
00Which is correct?02br
02br
00Can somebody please help me.02br
02br
00Thank You,02br

00What I could understand is that we can use participle -ing form to postmodify a noun/noun phrase irrespective of the aspect of the clause (past/present).02br
02br
00Could you please let me whether the same rule applies to the Infinitives?02br
02br
