Answer:

Bill arrives in Birmingham at 22:03

He travelled for 213 minutes.

Yes, Judy will make the train.

Explanation:

18:30 to 22:03 is 3 hours and 33 minutes. It is 6:30pm to 10:03pm. One hour is 60 minutes.

3(60) + 33 = 180 + 33 = 213

Bill traveled 213 minutes.

Judy arrives at her stop at 10:17am. Four hours later its 2:17pm, that is 14:17. The train to her next stop is departing in two minutes at 14:19. If she's not stuck in a long line to get a ticket, she can jump aboard the 14:19 and be on her way.

10:17 + 4:00 = 14:17

14:17<14:19
