TRAINS

1. 
   Many people in Britain live in a long way from their work. They often travel by train from the suburbs into the town centre to work. These people are commuters. Some people travel more than 200 miles every day and spend up to two hours going to work and two hours going home.
   
2. 
   Train tickets may appear to be expensive, but this form of transport is a fast and environmentally friendly alternative to using a car. On some trains, there are study clubs which offer language lessons to commuters on their way to and from work.
   
3. 
   The organization of the railway system in Britain has changed recently. For many years the railway was run¹ by a public company, British Rail. In 1944, this company was split into two parts: Railtrack, which owns the track and the stations, and several private companies, which operate the trains.
   
4. 
   Some people are worried about the change. They believe that private companies will only run one or two trains a day to small country villages or that they will close village stations.
   
5. 
   In 1994, Waterloo International Station was opened. If you travel by train direct from Paris or Brussels to London, you arrive at this station. The station, designed by Nicholas Grimshaw, has won many architectural awards.
   
6. 
   Train spotters² are fans of trains. You can see train spotters at many train stations. They stand at the end of the platform and spend hours writing down the numbers of the trains. Serious train spotters travel thousands of miles by train trying to collect the number of every train in Britain. Some train spotters prefer the old fashioned steam trains.
