You are buying a return ticket to Westport for a concert that ends at 22:00. You must change at Benton. The clerk says, “The usual last train isn’t running. There’s a replacement bus for part of the return. Details are on the board.” They turn towards the next customer. You need to get back tonight, but the board does not show whether the bus connects with your final train home. Mantém a atenção do funcionário e explica por que razão a ligação de regresso é importante. Pede a última viagem completa até casa, autocarro incluído. Descobre se tens de sair mais cedo do concerto e se um só bilhete cobre tudo. Se te derem apenas uma hora de partida, explica melhor o que precisas de saber. Termina a dizer em que condições compras o bilhete.

You bought tickets at a machine for the 11:20 train to Lakeside, with a change at Westbridge.
