Question 1:

Journey B takes 1 hour to get from Dumfries to Glasgow. What time do you arrive at Glasgow?

- Departure from Dumfries (Journey B): 11:30
- Travel time: 1 hour
- Arrival at Glasgow:
→ 11:30 + 1 hour = 12:30

✔ Answer: 12:30

> *(Note: The table shows no arrival time for Journey B at Glasgow, but we calculate it based on the given info.)*

Question 2:

Journey C takes a total of 3 hours. What time does it arrive at Inverness?

- Departure from Dumfries (Journey C): 16:40
- Total journey duration: 3 hours
- Arrival at Inverness:
→ 16:40 + 3 hours = 19:40

✔ Answer: 19:40

> *(Note: The table shows Journey C arrives at Perth at 19:15 and has a 3-hour total duration. But since it starts at 16:40, 16:40 + 3h = 19:40, so it must arrive at Inverness at 19:40.)*

Question 3:

How long does journey A take?

- Departure from Dumfries: 10:20
- Arrival at Inverness: 14:25

Now calculate the duration:

- From 10:20 to 14:20 = 4 hours
- From 14:20 to 14:25 = 5 minutes
- Total = 4 hours 5 minutes

✔ Answer: 4 hours 5 minutes

Question 4:

You need to be at Perth for 13:30. Which is the best journey to take?

Check arrival times at Perth:

- Journey A: Arrives at 13:20 → ✔ Before 13:30
- Journey B: Arrives at 13:55 → ✘ After 13:30
- Journey C: Arrives at 19:15 → ✘ Much later

Only Journey A arrives before 13:30.

✔ Answer: Journey A

Question 5:

You arrive at Edinburgh train station at 18:10. How long do you have to wait for the next train to Inverness?

Check departure times from Edinburgh:

- Journey A: Departs at 12:40 → already passed
- Journey B: Departs at 13:10 → already passed
- Journey C: Departs at 18:30 → next available

Arrival: 18:10
Next train: 18:30

Wait time:
→ 18:30 - 18:10 = 20 minutes

✔ Answer: 20 minutes

Question 6:

How many stations does the 11:30 train stop at before it reaches Perth?

Stops along the way:
1. Dumfries – start
2. Glasgow – 12:30 (we calculated earlier)
3. Edinburgh – 13:10
4. Perth – 13:55

So, before reaching Perth, it stops at:
- Glasgow
- Edinburgh

That’s 2 stations between Dumfries and Perth.
