The underground

London's underground serves most of the city and links it with its suburbs. Frequent and reliable it runs 20 hours a day with trains every few minutes on most lines. The famous Journey Planner map gives each line a colour making it easy to plan your trip. You'll find the map is on every platform, and in this leaflet, too. Fares are based on a zonal system, details are in all ticket offices and in free leaflets from Travel Information Centres. Buy your ticket from the machine or booking office and put it into the automatic gate, pick it up from the top and walk through. If you have luggage or a pushchair, station staff will assist you. You must have a valid ticket for your whole journey before you travel. If you don't, from April 1994 you will be liable to pay a Penalty Fare of L 10. The London Underground system is one of the safest metros in the world but it makes sense to protect your personal belongings at all times. Video linked TVs assist in ensuring your safety when you're with us, and at many stations you can use platform "Help Points" to ask for help or information. On escalators always stand on the right and never run, keep children's feet and fingers away from the sides. Never hold back the train doors when they are closing. The Underground's Customer Charter promises you a safe, speedy journey, and a refund of your fare if your train is more than 15 minutes late.

5. Mit tehet, ha a vonat több, mint negyedórát késik?
