When is Helen starting her new job? Which is the quickest way for the visitor to reach the city centre?

M Congratulations on your new job, Helen.
F Thanks.
M When do you start?
F2 They suggested June - but I have to give three months’ notice here.
M So does that mean you’ll be going in August?
F2 It’s got to be then. It’s a shame really as I’c booked a holiday for late July - but I guess I’ll have to cancel that.
M Well, good luck.

M Excuse me. Could you tell me how to get to the city centre, please?
F Well, there’s a local bus.
M How long does that take?
F About halfan hour. You could go by train - but it would take double that time. Or you could always take a tram. The stop’s just over there. It’ll take you about three- quarters of an hour, though.
M Thank you.
