Attention, passengers waiting for the ten fifteen express to Manchester.
We're sorry to announce that this service is delayed.
A signal problem near the station is being repaired right now,
and we expect the train to leave in about forty minutes.
While you wait, please enjoy a free hot drink,
available at the café next to platform three.
Just show your ticket to a member of staff.
Passengers with connecting trains should go to the information desk.
Once again, we apologise for the delay. Thank you for your patience.

Questions eighty-six through eighty-eight refer to the following excerpt from a meeting.
Okay, everyone, before we finish, I've got one last item.
Starting next month, we're switching to a new expense system!
I know, I know... nobody likes change.
But honestly, the old paper forms were taking weeks to process.
With the new app, you just take a photo of your receipt,
and you'll be paid back within three days!
There's a short training video on the staff website.
Please watch it before the end of the week.
And if you get stuck, Maria in accounting is happy to help.
