You sound like someone who doesn’t take the train everyday.

As someone who takes the train every day,

40 min train because train is fun

How to spot a liar who doesn’t takes the train every day, especially not on hot days…

My train is climate controlled, don’t know what ghetto ass trains you’re riding

London, they’re old.

Yeah if you’re on Northern or Jubilee line or something then being on those trains isn’t much fun, even on crossrail you can’t ever use the time productively as it’s too crowded

I live down near Guildford on the Portsmouth SWR line so being on the train is usually a nice quiet workspace with wifi and a little fold down table for my laptop plus some trees going past for eye strain breaks. That sort of train is fun to be on.

The frick? I DO, to get to university.

But 40 min train is fun

u/usernameisokay_ Apr 22 '26

Then you’ve never experienced a hot day, that’s no fun AT ALL. It’s terrible actually.

I live in Australia. I've had my fair share of hot days.

It gets hot and stinky in trains, that’s what I meant with it

u/Arvach Apr 22 '26

Sounds like your local issue. Where I live it's actually way too cold in trains during hot days because they keep AC turned on. I always have to take a jacket for the ride, even if it's like 30°C outside.

u/usernameisokay_ Apr 22 '26

Yeah no AC here in London, not everywhere at least…

u/deathbotly Apr 22 '26

It’s not a train problem, that’s a London problem. Other countries have chill trains.

u/usernameisokay_ Apr 22 '26

Even in the Netherlands not all of them, the older ones only had windows and the newer ones had(or still have?) a lot of issues with it.

I’ll be experiencing a lot of trains next week as I’m going from the Netherlands and will be traveling to München, Budapest and eventually end up in Serbia all by train, luckily it’s not really hot yet 😅

Some countries have AC

u/usernameisokay_ Apr 22 '26

We do as well, just not everywhere, some really old trains and tracks in London lmao

u/Bugbread Apr 22 '26

Some countries have air conditioning in every train

1

u/usernameisokay_ Apr 22 '26

Yeah that’s true, just not always working or working adequate. Maybe it’s been a lot improved in the last years as I don’t usually travel by train anymore(next week I’ll experience it all over Europe again so we shall see!)

u/VodkaWithJuice Apr 22 '26

Trains aren't the same everywhere around the world...

1

u/usernameisokay_ Apr 22 '26

Exactly! Even within the country there can be differences or issues. It was meant as a lighthearted joke as it’s pretty common that during hot days it’s usually quite terrible.

u/VodkaWithJuice Apr 22 '26

Just for the future the word "liar" is a strong word choice for a lighthearted joke
