A ticket office conversation can start with a polite request.
The idea
Say a ticket to followed by your destination. Choose single for one direction or return for both directions, and ask for first class if you prefer it.
Examples
- I would like a ticket to Bristol, please.
- Is that a single or a return?
- We need two return tickets for tomorrow.
- She wants to travel in first class.
- What time does the train leave?
- You can pay by card at the ticket office.
