Eating on Trains

Yeah I kind of agree with this too. When I have a random Jack Russell on a long lead coming over and sniffing me and others in the carriage, like what happened a few months ago - that to me is of more concern and more anti-social. I’ve always said they need designated dog free and dog friendly carriages like they do in other countries.

But yeah at this point I’m not telling anyone to not bring a bag of chips on when someone can bring their staffy dog on.

Are you from the 1980s?

What about the northern line??
A very small section is overground.
Shall I go through every tube map?
And you call me obtuse

You are obtuse and digging deeper. I'm enjoying this enormously because it's hilarious.

So what about the northern line? I said in answer to your (wrong and stupid) point that a tube is 'hardly the same as an overground train', that many tubes run over ground and only Waterloo & C & Victoria are wholly underground. 'A small section overground' = not wholly underground. I was right.

If you are interested someone has done that job for you. TfL says only 45% of the tube network is underground. This research suggests in fact it's only 21% but even the official figure is more is above ground than underground.

This is all a bit off point now because the basic point is that a train (whether tube train or standard 'overground' train) it is a closed environment and not like a restaurant and making other people sit having to endure unpleasant intrusive smells that permeate a space (coffee in a cup doesn't permeate a whole carriage in the way that hot freshly fried/cooked food does) in a closed space is selfish and ill mannered.

Sadly, the way of the modern world is that people will just crack on doing their own thing to suit themselves with no consideration for other people - justifying it by whatever childish self-centred means that suits them (waaaaaaaaah! it doesn't smell. waaaaaaaah! I'm hungry. waaaaaaaaaaaaah! other people do it. Waaaaaaaaaah! the train serves hot food. Waaaaaaaaaah! I'm a wery thspecial toddler that wanths my McDonalds and I want it now! Waaaaaaaah! Waaah!).

As long as animals are allowed in public transport, and not at least contained into a single carriage when possible, the whole debate about people who dare to bring chips to the train is a bit pointless.

🙄 in the past when I’ve been in London I’d regularly grab a Burger King in Euston for tea. If I’m getting a train at say 6:30-7 I’m not home till gone 10 and that’s my main meal for the day. Plenty of people buy coffee on or before the train, what if you don’t like the smell of coffee?

YABU. Especially since kids are involved and a 3 hr journey.

I got on an emirates flight last week (ie, one you get a hot meal on) and a family sat down and they all had a Macdonald’s meal. So inconsiderate.

But a tube train is hardly the same as an overground train!

Obtuse. Tubes do actually run overground on lots of lines. Only the Victoria & Waterloo & City lines are wholly underground. The point I was making applies to both - it's closed environment and if it starts to fill with smoke and the doors are locked you can't get out. You can't open a window and you can't open the doors yourself if it isn't in a station with doors unlocked. If you think that's the same as a restaurant then ... tee hee hee!

Some absolute wrong un ate 3 boiled eggs on a train I was on recently. Pulled them out of a bag he had in his pocket, peeled them and ate them.

Was disgusting. The bloke opposite called him a barbarian.
