Do you talk to people on trains / planes / buses / tubes? Do you find it makes the journey more bearable? What are good conversation starters for you? For the oldies - do you remember a time when people chatted on transport more? or in queues etc..

You're obviously not a Geordie
Then, when she got off, he looked around and sat by another woman and banged on and on about the rugby. Then he said "Have you seen they got Mr Bean in the Snickers advert now instead of Joan Collins? He's funny isn't he?"
I'd have had to say something very blunt if he'd chosen me.
No .. worse .. an Essex man
I agree. "Randoms in the Night" just doesn't work does it?
If you don't talk to randoms/strangers, how are you going to meet new people, some of whom might become friends of yours.
Yikes
Up here, we'll talk to anyone
I think talking to strangers depends on how sociable you are and where you live.
But now when I think about it, I always step off the train happier if I have had a little chat with someone during the journey.
