But it's mostly adults being loud, not the children (sometimes it is).<br /><br />The train announcements repeating (by person or automation), however, I think are important. Despite the uncomfortable seats, sometimes people do get to sleep. To lessen their chances of missing their stop, the stops should be announced multiple times. When I was in Japan, this was very important for me, even when I was fully awake and heard the stops the first time.<br /><br />Also, yes, I agree about the first class carriages. Definitely needs reduction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2094379750831310333.post-91718826071465478682013-07-18T07:59:50.873-07:002013-07-18T07:59:50.873-07:00Hey Roxy - posts will be more regular once i get a...Hey Roxy - posts will be more regular once i get a computer i can use on the go<br /><br />I am catching the train daily and find it almost impossible to sleep on it....Don't Feed The Pixieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05380146661526476947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2094379750831310333.post-60472480595322160402013-07-05T20:48:29.391-07:002013-07-05T20:48:29.391-07:00Hey Pixie, where are your posts? :) I'm the on...Hey Pixie, where are your posts? :) I'm the one who's been absent. Do you take the train every day?? I live in a small community - under 1 million people. People think we live in a city but of course, I know much better - compared to the rest of the world ... but, I have been able to sleep on ANY train, it's my gift!Roxyhttp://www.roxannefelix.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2094379750831310333.post-19274538060483031212013-07-02T12:46:41.485-07:002013-07-02T12:46:41.485-07:00Stephen - yes it certainly can be

No one thinks you look good or that you're working really hard, especially when their phone call finishes and they go back to playing Angry Birds or Solitaire.The Fat Controllernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2094379750831310333.post-55227465506043517762013-06-30T01:04:32.382-07:002013-06-30T01:04:32.382-07:00Yep, been there, done that for four years.
