These days people use the Internet to check things like train
timetables, and live departure boards. Or so I'm told. Will never catch
on ;-)

If you're already at the station, it's a bit late to start going
online to check whether trains are running!

You would be checking the times at whatever National Rail station you
were heading for. For example, Kings Cross if heading north on the
Bakerloo (change at Oxford Circus).
