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 do like travelling by train. Last year I had a problem. The locomotive broke down in the middle of nowhere. Fortunately, the driver could drive very slowly to the next station. Once arrived in the station, the mechanics examinated the locomotive and said it was out of order. So we had to wait for another locomotive. It took hours! We arrived at our destination with a lot of delay.
ye boi
Thank you
I like to travel by train ,I believe the train is more than a plane and a ship.
Yes, I also had a problem,I had trouble delaying the trains and the crowds in the platforms and so on.
I love travelling by train.i never had any problem travelling train
I'm not used to travel by train. I really prefer planes because it's quicker than trains and most of the time it's cheaper.
I used to travel by train in my childhood to visit my relatives especially grandparents. To be honest, I didn't have any problem.
I think everywhere trains run on time.
I used to travel by train. But, it was a bad experience for me.
Hi everybody

We have hundreds of pages of high-quality video and audio, along with interactive exercises to help us.
I have tried traveling by train once in my lifetime. And i got it Uncomfortable .This is because, the train loaded so many passengers and it was unable to properly get ventilation and sit.
