1 From Glasgow.

从原文的Last Thursday, I traveled on the 8:40 am train from Glasgow to London King’s Cross…可知。

2 At 9:20.

从原文的I traveled on the 8:40 am train from Glasgow to London King’s Cross…和 The train was forty minutes late leaving Glasgow,可以知道“我”乘坐的是8:40 am这一班火车，但是之后又说火车迟发40分钟，所以得知火车在9:20am出发。

3 He missed his flight from London Healthrow to Frankfurt and had to wait for

several hours.

As a result是结果的意思，因此它的后面就一定告诉了我们由于火车晚点而发生了什么——他错过了他从London Healthrow 到 Frankfurt的航班，不得不在等几个小时。

4 (It served) soft drinks.

从There was …only a bar with soft drinks.可以得知。

5 Because the air conditioning broke down halfway through the trip.

and it got hotter and hotter in the train的前半句是… the air conditioning broke down halfway through the trip and标志着前后半句之间是因果关系，我们可以知道空调在半路上坏了。
