THATS ENGLISH BASICO 1

Hello boys and girls, how are you? Here is a task for you:
What questions would you ask to :

1) Know the timetable for a train to Manchester
2) Know where to leave your luggage in the station while you have a coffee
3) Get a ticket on a train where you can sleep while you travel
4) Get a ticket to go to London (coming back the same day)
5) Ask about trains to Edinburgh in the morning

Try not to use the book and to just remember the structures and vocabulary
