Everything is farther than is used to be It's twice the distance from my house to the station now _and they've added a fair-sized hill that I never noticed before.The trains leave sooner too.I've given up running for them,because they start faster these days when I try to catch them.You can't depend on timetables any more,and it's no use asking the conductor.I ask him a dozen times a trip if the next station is where I get off,and he always says it isn't. 3.
