Didn't think I needed a phone (and haven't needed one yet)

I am going to ask my wife to try and buy me a ticket for the G18 train.

Is that the one you normally take?
That's one of the ones I usually take, but I have trouble keeping track of g16, g18, and g20. I want to say they refer to 3p, 4p, and 5p, respectively. G4 is the fastest (by a whopping 7 minutes), and it leaves at 2p or 3p. Avoid the 3 digit trains if you can help it though (they take an extra 30+ minutes).

BTW, all of this info is easy to find with google; I'm just too lazy to look at the moment.
