Marco is planning an exciting trip to the UK next month.

First, he needs to get to the airport. He usually goes by bus, but this time he has a lot of luggage and a heavy suitcase, so he decides to take a taxi. He will get in the taxi at his house and get out right in front of the airport terminal.

From Italy, Marco will fly to London. When he arrives, he wants to explore the city. He plans to go on foot to see the sights, but London is very big! Because of this, he will also ride the famous red double-decker buses and travel by tube (the underground train).

One day, Marco wants to visit a friend in Oxford. He goes to the train station to buy a ticket.

"Can I help you?" the clerk asks.

"Yes, please. I'd like a return ticket to Oxford" Marco says. "When are you coming back?" "I'm coming back on Tuesday" Marco replies. "What time does the next train leave?"

"It leaves at 10:30 from platform 4," says the clerk.

"Do I have to change trains?" Marco asks. "No, you don't. It's a direct train," the clerk answers.

Marco makes sure he has his wallet and his ticket ready before he gets on the train. He is ready for a great trip!
