式 Talking about traffic problems

Excuse me, what time does the train for Cardiff leave?

It's already left, mate.

Do you know what time the next one is?

Sorry, I've got no idea.

Sorry, I'm late. The bus got held up in traffic.

Oh, never mind. It doesn't matter.

I asked the check-in agent why the flight's delayed, but he wouldn't give me a straight answer.

In that case, we'll just have to wait here. 词
