Answer :

To find the time gap between two arrivals at Worle, let's look at the schedule provided in the table:

1. The first arrival at Worle is at 12:55.
2. The next listed arrival at Worle is at 14:05.

Now, let's calculate the time difference between these two arrivals.

1. Convert the first arrival time to minutes past midnight:
- 12:55 translates to 12 hours and 55 minutes.
- Convert hours to minutes: 12 hours × 60 minutes/hour = 720 minutes
- Add the remaining minutes: 720 minutes + 55 minutes = 775 minutes

2. Convert the second arrival time to minutes past midnight:
- 14:05 translates to 14 hours and 5 minutes.
- Convert hours to minutes: 14 hours × 60 minutes/hour = 840 minutes
- Add the remaining minutes: 840 minutes + 5 minutes = 845 minutes

3. Calculate the time gap between the two arrivals:
- Subtract the first arrival time in minutes from the second arrival time in minutes:
845 minutes - 775 minutes = 70 minutes

Therefore, the time gap between the two arrivals at Worle is 70 minutes.
