## Dialogue

**Them:** The two o'clock train is delayed, I'm afraid.

**You:** How long is the delay expected to be?

**Them:** At least forty minutes, possibly longer.

**You:** Is there another train I could take instead?

**Them:** There's a slower one leaving from platform one.

**You:** Would my ticket still be valid on that train?

**Them:** Yes, it's valid on any train today.

**You:** Then I'll take the slower one. Thanks.
