In Britain one applies for a railway-ticket at the booking-office, which is a relic of coaching-days when in order to secure a seat in a coach a travel- ler would enter his name in a book at the stage- coach proprietors' office. One books a room in an hotel, too, which is more -accurate because one's name is actually entered in the booking register.
