at 7:00     4     to catch the 7:50 train to Liverpool, but there was no hope     5    that now. I explained (解释)
the situation (情况) to the conductor      6    advised     7    to get off at the stop before London Station and
    8    a taxi. When the time came, he even helped me     9    my luggage. He wished me good     10    as I
jumped off, and     11    minutes after I was racing towards London Station in a taxi. It was     12    7:50 when
we stopped outside the station. I     13     the driver quickly and hurried inside. " The Liverpool train " was all I
