How long in a week do you spend on a train?

howard h · 03/11/13 - 02:25

An average week, that is??

Me it's about two hours, but I bet there are plenty of commuters here that spend above 10 on the rails. And there will be many who haven't ever been on a train!!

So, basically, just wondering, and any decent (or very indecent) train journey stories out there??

Almost none. In the UK I get the train once every five years or so.

Kaz159 · 03/11/13 - 02:51

I rarely get the train - maybe once every 2 years.

4 hours on an average week - 1 hour journey (one change, so 15 mins then 45 mins on next train) and return twice a week, for uni.

I don't think I have been on a train more than 10 times in my life and that includes having to change trains to get to where I was going and the return journey

Usually between 30 and 60 hours a week depending on shifts-but I have the advantage of being for it.

None any longer thank god

Not on them but around them over 40 hours a week.

I don't, I take my car.

djfunnyman · 03/11/13 - 04:21

I get the train roughly every couple of months

I am going down to London later this month, so that will be about 4 hours, but its a rare for me to take a train.

ChickenWings · 03/11/13 - 04:31

On an average week, none. When I used to go see my boyfriend for the weekend, about two hours a week though.

Did start the question with an "average" week

Between 25 and 40 hours I'm a conductor.

I travel most days on the trains and do my longer journeys on them too so spend quite a lot of hours on them. I've a shortish commute daily but will go miles for time away and love them.

Hate the toilets though and also hate people who put their bags on seats knowing people are standing up......charge them for two seats is my chant *evil head on*:p

People can be charged for a second ticket if they insist on this type of behaviour, I've not had to do it yet as people soon move their bag when I start ringing up a ticket on my machine.:)

0 hours.

Toriamath · 03/11/13 - 17:44

I only get the train a couple of times a year

CLL Dodge · 03/11/13 - 17:56

2 hours a day this week.

Cryolemon · 03/11/13 - 18:07

None at the moment because I don't need to. I like travelling by train though.

Northerly · 03/11/13 - 18:08

none. not been on a train since 2010 and then it was only once

Andrue · 03/11/13 - 20:16

Was zero. Not been on a train for many years. But with my new job it'll be ten hours a week.

DoNotDisturb · 03/11/13 - 21:05

I very rarely do any train traveling, but when I do, it usually only takes just over an hour at the most to get to the destinations I usually travel to by train. Now if we had Japanese style bullet trains, I imagine I would get to my destinations in about 10 minutes at the most! :eek:
