Using The Train?

Question

Hey everybody.

I need to go down to Gloustecer, but I've never used a train before, so I'm pretty. . . Scared about it. I haven't a clue what I'm doing.

Really, I need to know everything, start to finish. Where to get my ticket from, what do I say, how do I know it's my train, how do I know it's my stop. Etc.

If I could get some help, I'd really appreciate it! Thank you in advance!

Little different than travelling on a bus  go to a station first and look around and watch its working again like buses someare town stations with all mod con someone says over the speakers the next train approaching platform 2 is the  12.57 for Bristol calling at Cheltenham,gloster..Ticket buy on line

In search type rail fares       the page that follows tabout the fifth down National rail Enqs click  >>next page a window headed quick journey planner   fill that in

Answer 2

Gloustecer sounds like a British name to me, so I guess you're somewhere in the UK.  I can't help with where to get your ticket, but I'm sure the train system should have a website.  

It's really simple actually.  You may have to buy your ticket in advance, or at the station.  Just go to the station 15-20 minutes early so you can find the correct platform.  There should be signs to guide you, or you can always ask an employee.  Each train is usually labeled with the name of the destination.  Once you are on the train, they should announce the name of each stop, or you can look out the window and read the signs.  

Trust me, it's so simple a 5 year old could do it.  Don't worry.

ok go to amtrack.com and find a number to call

you can get your tickets online or at the station.

they will call out the stops when they get to them or they will tell you that it is your stop bc they have markers above ur seat that says ur destination.
