In this case, the sentence is stating that the person has not been on holiday starting from 1997 until now. The word "for" is incorrect because it is used to indicate a duration of time, not a specific point in time. The word "in" is also incorrect because it does not convey the same meaning as "since" in this context.

In this case, we are asking about the time the train departs, so we use the base form of the verb "leave" after "does."
