Travelling by train in Britain

One of the first things a foreigner notices about British railways is the platform. They are higher than in the most parts in the world. The platform is almost on the level with the floor of the carriages. You don’t, therefore, have to climb up into a railway carriage in Britain. This makes it a little easier to get in and out of the carriage with your luggage.

The trains that go to and from London are very crowded at the times when people are travelling to work, since about a million people travel to London to work each day. There are cheap tickets after a certain time of the day, usually about 9.30 when everyone has gone to work. These are called cheap day return tickets. It is often nearly fifty per cent cheaper to travel to London after 9.30 than before this time.

On many fast trains to London there is a dining-car in which you can buy a lunch, dinner or coffee. On others there is a buffet at which it is possible to buy snacks and drinks. Sometimes a waiter from the dining-car brings round cups of coffee to the passengers.

There are only two classes in Britain – first and second. A first-class ticket costs 50% more than a second-class ticket. On long journeys, there is a ticket inspector, who visits every passenger to see if he has the right ticket and is not traveling in the wrong class.

In England train passengers seldom converse with their fellow-travelers even on a long journey – this is more a national custom than a matter of etiquette. When the passenger reaches the end of his journey and leaves the train, he has to give his ticket to the ticket collector at the exit before he can leave the station. If he has a luggage and wants someone to carry it for him to a waiting car or a taxi, he must ask to a porter. The porter does not make a charge for this service, but he expects a tip.

 

Activity 1. Match the words with their Ukrainian equivalents.

 

platforms   багаж

carriage   платформи

luggage   вагон

return ticket             вагон-ресторан

dining-car   пасажир

fellow-traveler  чайові

a porter   попутник

a tip    квиток в обидві сторони

a passenger   носильник

cheap tickets             дешеві квитки

 

Activity 2. Say if the following sentences are true or false.

1. In Britain the platforms are higher than in the most parts in the world.

2. About a million people travel to London to work each day.

3. There are cheap tickets after a certain time of the day, usually about 9.30 when everyone has gone to work.

4. A first-class ticket costs 50%  less than a second class ticket.

5. In England train passengers often converse with their fellow-travelers.

 

V. Listening: Buying a train ticket

 

1. Listen and write the times.
