Can you eat on marc train

It was pretty cool, would be worth looking online to see if it's up somewhere. The 9 and Glad to hear the Canadian one lasted a bit longer it's an interesting concept..! Scripted, filmed, edited and broadcast on the same day, Going Home was set in a nightly inter-urban commuter train.

A group of regular train travelers are featured on their daily commute in a blend of up-to-the-minute commentary on the news and events of the day, together with the unfolding dramas in their lives. Viewer feedback was encouraged, including plot and character suggestions that were regularly incorporated into subsequent episodes.

Definitely a thing on some long Australian commutes to Central Sydney. I had friend who took a temporary job in central Sydney but kept living in Newcastle which is a 2.

She'd bring a pillow in the morning and sleep. Between the knowledge that they see her sleep and she wakes up to them daily and bonding over their horror commute, her and "the regulars" became pretty tight pretty quickly. This is a thing I've heard of in the U. One of my collegues talks about a well established train friendship group they all commute in on one of the rural stopping services to Leeds.

I know that they all meet up for drinks at Christmas, but apart from that I think they just interact on the train. I rode it on its first day but didn't start riding regularly for another two or three months after that, by which time a little bit of a Bus Friends Circle had already started on my usual route. It's been neat to see it grow over time from the beginning though most of the regulars aren't here today I took a train everyday for about 5 years.

I stood long story in the same place and there were other regular standers that has sort of reserved spots. We all respected each other's spots and would tell a newbie that that spot was occupied if the regular had not gotten on yet. I talked to these guys everyday about all sorts of things and knew about their jobs, wives, kids, buddies, etc. Now, 10 years on, I still occassionally bump into one at Grand Central or on the subway and say hello.

I have no idea what anyone's name is beyond their stop. I also have friends in town who ride the same car, same seats and play cards everyday with train buddies. They sit in the seats that face each other, pull down an ad cardboard "table" from the wall and play cards everyday on the same train, same car, same seats.

You and others in this thread might be interested in the private club-car that still operates on the commuter rail system in Chicago! On preview, sorry missed that someone already posted. Best answer: I've been riding suburban Chicago's Metra train system for a decade, and it's been fascinating to watch these groups. On my current line, there are several different groups who sit together every evening, from the same pairings to large, multi-row chat groups.

One is particularly elaborate, sprawling over the same dozen or so seats. They even have a sign-up sheet they use to determine who buys the case of beer each day. A few weeks ago, when I walked through, they had set up a baby shower streamers, balloons for one of their regulars. On the flip side, if you unknowingly sit in one of their seats, you may very well be asked to move.

I've observed that most of these tend to be the riders with the really long rides - an hour or more, which is plenty of time to make friends. I actually wrote a very bad draft of a very bad novel about this very phenomenon. In Washington state, I ride the ferry for an hour each way every week day Bremerton-Seattle, and reverse. I've socialized regularly with a number of groups in the 15 years I've been doing this - people come and go, and a few folks I realized were just "not my people", so I switched.

There is a sense of 'reserved' seating, but we just grumble under our breath and sit somewhere else when tourists take 'our' spot. Common in the UK too. People have carriage parties and stuff like that. Best answer: Yes! I take a commuter line and have ridden that same route with the same people twice a day for a decade--I know some of them very well.

In order to get to work in downtown Washington, DC on time, I must wake up by 5 am sharp to arrive at the Odenton MARC Station between 7 and am to catch the , , or southbound train. My morning routine can vary from day to day because it depends on how quickly my wife and I are able to get our two kids ready and off to daycare. Unlike my morning commute, I have only one option in the evening—the northbound train—which allows me far less flexibility. I rely on MARC to minimize my commute time.

While the above-mentioned issues may not seem to apply to all commuters, they are profoundly important to many of us. My analysis focused on four key measures:. Time spent delayed totaled three hours and four minutes including both morning and evening commutes. Source 1: Shows time lost in minutes. Positive number express time lost, and negative numbers express time gained.

In addition to costs, commuters also face conditions and situations that make riding the train almost unbearable at times. Maryland doesn't see that kind of a problem, so there's no law against it. I think the same sort of battle came up about smoking on trains and planes, too.

I think a Pre-med friend told me that Erik - I was always a good boy, I either walked home or called for a ride.

Can't same the same for everyone else, but it is Chicago, I think some of the drunk might drive better than some of the others out there. I think I'd rather drink Osco brand Vodka QUOTE: Originally posted by tree68 Recall that there was a time that railroads and airlines, for that matter stopped serving at the state line, and didn't start again until they left don't remember the state, but Kansas comes to mind.

Tree - some of our friends from Kansas will correct me, but I am thinking Kansas is still dry, I believe. No, Mookie. I'm from there. They now allow drinking, betting, and I believe doing laundry on Sunday. Well, I am in shock! Ah but fond memories of 3. Just a bit for the tummy, you know!
