Chapter 8: Reaching Grandmother’s House

Write what other information you can find out from the ticket.

A railway time-table gives details about the route of every train – the stations along the route, what time the train will reach and leave each station, the distance covered etc. We can buy a railway time-table from a railway station.

Some portions of the time-table for the route of the train on which Omana travelled are given. Look carefully at it and answer the following questions.

Circle the names of all the stations in the table that are mentioned in Omana’s diary.

From which station did the train start?

How many minutes did the train stop at Ahmedabad station?

On which day of the journey did the train reach Madgaon?

Sunil and Ann got off at Kozhikode station. Omana got off at Kottayam station. How many hours does the train take to reach Kottayam from Kozhikode?

What is the distance that the train travelled over the whole route?

How many kilometres did Omana travel by train?
