Station manager: Good afternoon. How can I help you?
Makayla: Hello … Erm … yes. I’ve just missed my train!
Station manager: Ah. Where are you going?
Makayla: To Manchester.
Station manager: Ah yes. That was the 16:20.
Makayla: What time’s the next one?
Station manager: Let’s see. The next train to Manchester leaves at 17:15 from platform 2.
Makayla: 17:15 … so that’s quarter past five … platform 2. What time does it get to Manchester?
Station manager: At 18:30.
Makayla: Half past six … erm … Can I use the same ticket?
Station manager: Just a moment, please. Can I see your ticket?
Makayla: Yes, here you are.
Station manager: Ah, sorry, no ... You can’t use this ticket on the 17:15 train.
Makayla: Really? Why not?
Station manager: This ticket is valid on trains before 5 and after 7 o’clock. During rush hour tickets are more expensive.
Makayla: Oh … do I have to buy another ticket?
Station manager: Yes, well, I can change your old ticket for a new ticket. Your ticket cost £7.50 and the new ticket is £11.00. So you just pay the difference, which is £3.50.
Makayla: Ah, OK, erm ... What platform is it from?
Station manager: Platform 2. Just over there, on the other side.
Makayla: OK, thanks. Bye.
Station manager: All right. Bye bye!

I using the train many times when I travel. I remember we have a tour to eat buffet in rush hour but luckily we can go boating on time.
Halloo my name is ifan, iam from indonesia. I have some experiences when i was in airport 3 days ago november 2019. I got a problem when my bag and my stuff which i brought, it cause the weight of my stuff is 16,5 kilogram it means i had to pay around 40 US$ more. But the problem is, i just have 20 US$, meanwhile around 15 minutes the plane will be take off. So i decided to eliminate my stuff, and i called my older brother to borrow his money. :))) its my critical 15 minites on airport what i felt. :))
