  1. I travel by train quite a lot and like to listen to music and watch the scenery, or of course be engrossed in a great book!

  4. Bit of all of the above really, but mostly I like to spend any train journey's not having to constantly chase the kids and tell them to settle down, stop climbing on the seats etc!!!

  6. The best way to travel by train for me is to have a book with me and be so absorbed in it that I almost forget to get of at my station!

  9. I have joind as Follower number 6 !

    I only ever travel by train when I am in another country and I like to strike up conversations with other travellers. It is surprising how much of a conversationb you can have, even with someone who speaks very little English.

    My husband, by contrast, is a grumpy old man and prefers to watch the scenery (mostly) and if the vistas get boring or we are travelling at night, to read.

  15. I always try to get a conversation started, and my favorite type of train are the old ones with compartments seating six, a great place both for silence and conversation. I've done several month-long trips through Europe by train and riding the trains in itself is a great pleasure.

    Whenever I'm travelling after dinner, I pack a few cans of beer in my backpack and more often than not, end up sharing them with the strangers I meet.

    In the Netherlands (where I live) there's a system whereby you and up to three others who are travelling with you get 40% discount if you have a special card. I don't have one, even though they're not all that expensive, but I always buy the discounted ticket and then ask people on the train if I can travel with them. It always works, and about half the time I end up talking to them for the duration of the journey.

  16. When I drive, I listen to Audio books! I can't do the same on the train, too many distractions! This morning, I read short stories, by F Scott Fitzgerald, including, The Strange Tale of Benjamin Button.

  17. Read a good book and the miles just disappear, I have to be careful not to miss my station though.

  18. I travelled every day by train during my uni days. Over three years i read the full Wilkie Collins collection, and loved rushing for thetrain, for a great 30 minutes read!
