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 am new in England, I live in Ashford Kent now. I had a problem witf train last time. I didn't knew that the ticket in rush hours are more expensive. But staff on station explain me everything and help. I love traveling by train, it relaxes me.
I travel by train only when I need to get to my university early, I really don't like because the train in lima is usually full of people.
I really like travelling by train because there is plenty of time for reading or listening to music..l haven't face serious problems so far but l have missed several times the train or i have missed the right station..
yes, I do like travelling by train.But I have not had a major problem so far.
I travelled by trains very often when I was a student. I liked this experience very much because I could read a book or magazines during the travel. Once I had a mishap. There was an accident on the railway and the train arrived five hours later.
In my country there are no train lines for public only for products. We use subway, bus or air lines for transportation. I have only used subway and bus, I have never traveled by plane.
I never travel by train. In my country there isnt many train lines. The mainha transport are bus, ship and plain. Bit i Will like to travel by train, must bem wonderful. I wait any day to do this.
In my country we don't have passenger trains only have freigth trains
I like travel by train. I often traveled from Lille to Lyon with the TGV. It's a very confortable train, it drives very fast. Sometimes, the trains are delayed and it's a big problem when we are pressed by the time.
