I know that this is the first time youwill be using a train, so I will tell you exactly what to do. I have just checked the train timetable for nextMonday, and I have found a train from London to Newcastle which will take about three and a half hours. Theexpress train leaves King's Cross platform 4 at 10.30 in the morning and arrives at Newcastle at around 1.30.You then have to take another train from Newcastle to Middlesbrough. You have to stand at platform 2 andtake the 2.00 o'clock train, which will take an hour and twenty minutes. It is always a good idea to buy yourtickets online because it is a bit cheaper, the fare on that day for a return ticket is £110. Don't forget to leaveyour house in good enough time to get to the railway station or else you will miss your train. Once you are onthe train, leave your big suitcase in the luggage hold and have your e-tickets ready for the ticket inspector tosee. If you feel hungry on the way, your train has a buffet car where you can have something nice to eat.Enjoy the beautiful countryside scenery on the way, and you will be going through several long dark tunnelswhich are very exciting. I wish you a beautiful journey, and I will be waiting for you at Middlesbrough railwaystation just before three o'clock. We will go straight to Nando's for late lunch with Sarah, Jo and Lilly.1.
