You're saying "Este tren demora tres horas = El tren va a llegar con 3 horas de demora" - vanyatka, May 25, 2010
From which I can assume "Este viaije demora tres horas = El viaje va a llegar con 3 horas de demora" - vanyatka, May 25, 2010
No. It's not the same. "El tren va a llegar con 3 horas de demora"= There are arriving with a 3 hours delay. - 00e657d4, May 25, 2010
"Este viaje demora 3 horas"= the trip is 3 housr long. - 00e657d4, May 25, 2010
