Hi, Georgie. How are you?

0:29

I'm very well, thank you, Neil. How are you?

0:31

How was your journey into work?

0:33

My journey into work was very good today, actually.

0:36

And we're actually talking about transport today.

0:39

How was your journey to work?

0:41

My journey was quite easy this morning,

0:44

actually. It isn't always.

0:46

And, Neil, we actually have a very similar commute, don't we?

0:49

I get the Tube to work, which in the UK is the underground train.

0:56

So, I walk to the station around 15 to 20 minutes,

1:00

and then I get the underground train, one train,

1:03

and then I change and then get another one, and then I walk to work.

1:08

What about you?

1:09

I do that, but before,

1:11

before your bit,

1:13

I have to get a bus as well.

1:15

Are you that far away from the station?

1:19

A couple of miles.

1:20

OK.

1:21

Three kilometres.

1:22

A bit too far to walk, then.

1:24

A bit too far to walk.
