Train from Lourdes to Bayonne - ルルド9:51→バイヨンヌ11:28の列車

駅には20分以上前に行ったら、切符売場には7-8名の列が出来ていた。これなら安心、でも一人5分だとヤバイかなどと思っていたらとんでもなくて、カウンターの3人組が15分経ってもまだ発券の気配もない。やっと列の2番目まで進んだ時には発車時刻まであと数分で焦りが出てきたその時に、3組後のカップルが列の前に急いでいるのか聞き始め、僕もあと5分しかないと言うと、最前列のおばさんが前に行きなさいと列を譲ってくれて、辛うじて列車に間に合った。切符を見ると有効期限2ヶ月の乗車券だったので前の日にでも買っておけば良かったのだ。


I arrived at the train station allowing more than 20 minutes, and I saw a queue of several people at the ticketing. I thought this should be okay but also felt a bit worried if it took 5 minutes per person, and the situation was worse. The three travelers at the counter were being dealt for over 15 minutes and there was still no sign of issuing their tickets. When I proceeded to the second of the line, it left only a few minutes and at that time a young couple behind started asking us in the line if each person was in a hurry. I told to everyone that I've got 5 minutes left, and the lady in front of the line said to us go head. We all managed to catch the train. I found that the ticket was valid for 2 months, and I could have bought one the day before.
