The last train
Neutral Neutral
What it really means
The final train of the day on a route. Missing it can mean an expensive taxi or waiting until morning, so British people often plan their evening around it. Check the time before you go out.
Chinese explanation
当天的末班车。错过末班车可能要打昂贵的出租车或等到早上，所以英国人晚上出门常会算好末班车时间。出门前一定查一下。

A：再喝一杯？
B：不行了，回家的末班车是23:40，我可不想花50镑打车。
