Dear Sir/Madam,

 The reason why I am writing this letter is to bring your attention towards a couple of difficulties I experience these days regarding the commuting.

 I am a software engineer, working in ‘The Oasis’, and I have been boarding the train number IX545, which used to arrive at my station: Cox Town at 7: 45 am for the past two years. I used to return in the same train which leaves the City Centre Station at 5: 15 pm.

 However, from the first of this month the train was made superfast, and the railway authority had cancelled its stop at Cox Town. There were around 150 regular commuters for the particular train from the station, and all of us have to either board the IX565 at 6:45 am or IX535 at 8:30 am to reach our destinations. Until last month, IX535’s departure from our station was at 8:00 am, which was convenient for those who missed IX545. Now, the only option before us is to be at station before 6:45 am.

 It would be appreciated if you could restore the previous schedule of IX535, so that it would be convenient for more passengers.

 I look forward the most favorable reply.

 Yours faithfully,

 Maxwell
