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 like travalling by train. About problems I had had, that was becoming usual. I already missed my train. At the first one, I had have to change my ticket. But at the second, the third time, I postponed my trip because there was transport problems link to strikes.
I like to travel by train. It is my favorite ride. I used to travel by train to go to university. Sometimes during the rush hour, it is crowding. But I like it.
I do not like travelling by train because i cannot sleep well. :'(
I used to travel by train because of my college is so far from me and because it's so quickly tansportation tool I used to take it
But once upon a time when I was back from my college to my home I reached to the train station late and in the monment i reached the train imminently about to move from the station so I boshed so quickly and jump on the train without booking a ticket
After while the conductor came and ask to see my ticket
Fortunately he was a kind person and after I tell him that once reach to the station the train was about to move he tell me never mind and book me a ticket on the train
No i haven't still looking forward to the day
Unfortunately, I traveled by train only once when I was a child. I don't have many memories of that tour.
Hello,,
Yes i really like travelling by train since i was a kid. My dad works for a railroad company. so i really often travelling by train because me and my family used to get a discount. Last year, i was travelling with my friends by train and when we were in the station to go home my dad was suddenly sent a photo of me in the train and i was so surprised by him because he didn't tell me that he was in this town too.
Well, I haven’t had any problem on the train.overall I would rather to travel by car anytime. I feel I can’t breath when I get on the train.
Hi thanks for your help.
Regards Nasser
