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.

I like a train, because when I go to my school, I always take a train. On a train, There are many kind of people and everyone use smartphone to play. So when I take a train, I can understand what Japanese people are interested. Trains show the trends.

I like traveling by train very much , but I don't usually travel by train .
I really love travelling by train. I like looking into the window and watching the landscapes change. It inspires me for creating some artworks and poems.
In Bangladesh, we also use the train to go other parts of it. And traveling by train is really fantastic! I love traveling by train so much.
Actually I haven't yet faced any problem on my journey like this video. Because I was always aware of it.

Hello my name is ali and I’m very strong in english
It was my favourite kind of transport when I was six or seven years old, because I often travelled by train, but now I do not.
Yes!
In my city we don't have train but we have got a lot of busses and taxis.
I have travelled once by train with my uncle in England. I didn't have any problems and it was great experience I would like to do it again. I don't go by train in my country, because I always travel by car with my parents. By the way we have got very fast trains they are called Pendolino.
I travelled once by train with my mum. I didn't have any problems and it was great experience I would like to do it again.
Hello, I think that the train trips offered by my country are extraordinary because I can know the culture and traditions of the people to where the train passes. In addition, in Ecuador the use of train is 100% for tourism. My best experience in train is the devil's nose route because the route brings with it adrenaline and a view of the ecosystem never before seen. Finally, train travel especially in Ecuador is the best experience.
I have never traveled by train, but if I wanted to travel sometime because I would like to feel all that speed
I have never been on a train, but i´d like to travel in one at some moment in my life.
I have never had the possibility of traveling on a train since in my city there is no train service. But I know that in other provinces of my country there is this service and I would like to travel in one of these.
I haven't had the opportunity to travel by train. I would like someday travel in that.. I think in the train there must be a lot of noise, that is a little fear, because that way I couldn't travel relaxed, but out of curiosity if I would travel by train.
I did not travel by train. But I would like. Not because I did not travel by train
In my country the train is only touristic. There is a Trole or ecovia, it's the same. I don't like travel at this because in the rush hour is bad and dirty. But in the other hours is good because is very fast.
I have never traveled on train, because In my country don´t have train. But I want any day on other country, travel on train because I like it.
I love more travelling by airplane than train, but i often traveling by train in the summer.
I like very much travelling by train, but unfortunately, I don`t usaually travel much by train. I've never had any problem on my train journey.
