pronouncing numbers of trains/buses.

[Vladv1]

Could you please explain how to pronounce the numbers of buses, trains, routes when they have 3 digits? Is train/route/bus 578 = train/bus/rout five seven eight? what about 511-is it five one one or five eleven? Thanks.

I'd say five seven eight and five one one.

I'd definitely say "five seven eight", but I would say both "five one one" and "five eleven". I have no preference.

Does what you said apply to buses/train/routes?

Yes, although trains in the UK don't have numbers.
