I’m curious about how you’ve managed to not go on a train alone? Not that you’re missing much! I just can’t imagine a life without needing to use a train on your own as I’ve done so many solo train journeys!

I’ve driven since I was 17 so just never needed to

There are loads of 'normal' things I have never done, as I have no interest in them (dyed my hair, had my nails done etc), but I travel and go to concerts and plays (solo or with DP, friends or family) all the time, and I have lived in lots of big cities, including London.

OP, are those things (going on a train, going to London or to concerts) things you feel you are missing out on, or are you not bothered?

Not too bothered, it was more just musing
I do see things in London that I would like to go to and think oh I wish I lived closer and I could just nip in for the morning

Never asked another person what they are thinking.

Same. It’s never, ever entered my mind. And I hate being asked that question, too…
