Grammar
get vs. have got
A. When I get off the train, I'll call you back.
B. When I've got off the the train, I'll call you back.
1. Which of the above is correct?
2. If both are possible, what is the difference in meaning?
3. Which is more natural and common?
In B, I just used "got" as the past participle of "get" in British English. I understand that "gotten" is the equivalent in American English.
I would very much appreciate your help, please.

They are both correct. There's no difference in meaning between them. The first is much more common but the second is by no means rare.
