Ella: Excuse me. I'm meeting my cousin in Westford, and I was planning to take the ten fifteen train. The board says it's cancelled. Is there another way to get there before noon? We're going to a concert, but we want to have lunch first.

Sam: You have two options. The direct train at eleven twenty arrives at twelve ten. Or you can take the ten forty to Brookfield and change there. That gets you to Westford at eleven fifty. The connection is only eight minutes, but both trains use the same platform.

Ella: Then I'll take the earlier connection. I thought it left from platform four, but I can see platform seven on the screen now. Is that correct? And can I still use my ticket? I bought it yesterday for the cancelled service.

Sam: Yes, platform seven is correct. Your ticket is valid on either route today, so you don't need to pay again. Keep an eye on the board in case the platform changes. If you miss the connection, speak to the staff at Brookfield before boarding another train.
