A. I want a one-way ticket to Springfield. When does the next train leave?

B. There's a train at four-ten. There's also another at seven-twenty this evening.

A. Are they both through trains?

B. Yes. The four ten is a fast train and makes only one stop in New Haven. It arrives in Springfield at nine-thirty. The second is a local and takes about an hour and a half longer.

A. Is there a dining car on both trains?

B. There's a diner on the four-ten. The seven-twenty has just a cafe. You can get there sandwiches and coffee, drinks, etc.

A. What is the price of a ticket?

B. A seat on the four-ten will cost you ten dollars.

A ticket for the seven-twenty is cheaper: it will cost you only six dollars and eighty cents.

A. I think I'll have a ticket for the four-ten. It will be more expensive, but I'll save time.

B. As you like. Here is your ticket.

A. Thank you.

Susan Bennett is at the left-luggage office at Victoria Station.

Susan: I want to leave some luggage here until this afternoon, is that all right?

Clerk: Yes, of course. That'll be quite all right. Is it just one bag? Susan: No, there are these two suitcases and this trunk. My hus­band will call for them during his lunch break. Clerk: Very well. What's your name, please? Susan: Mrs Bennett.

Clerk: Right. Here's your ticket. That will be 32 pence, please.

(Susan gives him a pound note) 68 pence change. Thank you.

Susan: Thank you.

Peter and Jane Bennett are travelling by train to see Jane's parents.

Peter: I booked seats for us because trains at this time are usual­ly crowded. We have numbers A-26 and A-30. These are corner seats in a non-smoker, one seat facing the engine. Is that all right?

Jane: That's great, Peter. I would hate going a long way in a smoker. May I sit facing the engine?

Peter: Of course! You take whichever seat you like. As a matter of fact, I really prefer sitting with my back to the engine.

Now let's look for our seats.

Jane: Here's our carriage A, and here's our compartment. We can get on the train.

Peter: I'll go and see that our luggage has been put into the van, and I'll book two seats in the dining car for lunch if you don't mind.

Jane: That's a very good idea.
