TRAVELLING BY RAILWAY

Mr. Kozlov had an invitation from one of the biggest British firms to visit an exhibition of chemical equipment in Edinburgh.

As Mr. Lipman had promised to send the quotation only in two or three days Mr. Kozlov decided to take the opportunity of visiting the exhibition.

So on Wednesday morning Kozlov got up earlierthan usual as he had to catch an early morning train to Edinburgh. He packed his suit-case and was about to go to the restaurant when the telephone rang. The secretary of the Russian Trade Delegation was phoning Kozlov to tell him that he could get accommodation on the 9 o'clock express to Edinburgh at the booking-office of Liverpool Street Station.

At the booking-office

Kozlov: Good morning. I want a first-class ticket on the 9 o'clock train to Edinburgh.

Clerk: Would you like a single or a return ticket?

Kozlov: Return, please. I think it's more convenient.

Clerk: Certainly, it is.

Kozlov: Shall I have to change?

Clerk: No, you needn't. It's a through train.

Kozlov: What's the fare?

Clerk: 25 pounds, please.

Kozlov: Would you mind telling me when the express is due in Edinburgh?

Clerk: Just a minute. I'll check that for you. You are due at 5.30 p.m.

Kozlov: Oh, are we? I thought it would take me more time to get there.

Clerk: This train is the most convenient. It goes faster than any other train.

Kozlov: Thank you.

On the platform

Kozlov: Porter, will you see to my luggage, please?⁴

Porter: Yes, sir. Where are you going to?

Kozlov: I'm going by the 9 o'clock express to Edinburgh.

Porter: Is this your suit-case?

Kozlov: Yes, it is. It can go to my compartment.

Porter: Very well, sir. Which class?

Kozlov: First.

Porter: This way, please.

(Kozlov looks at the train at platform 2.)

Kozlov: Isn't this my train?

Porter: No, sir. Your train is at platform 5. We'll have to hurry or you'll miss the train. It's leaving in 5 minutes.

Kozlov: Oh, is it?

Porter: Now, sir. Here is your carriage.

(They get into the compartment and the porter puts the suit-case on the luggage-rack.)

Kozlov: Thank you, porter. Here you are. (He gives a tip to the porter.)

Porter: Thank you, sir. A pleasant journey to you.
