To not move on the train?

[TheCatsMeow]

I was on a very busy packed train with my friend and DS. DS was in a sling, we had the buggy and I was feeding him. We were standing by the doors (no one offered us seats!) trying to feed a screaming baby, penned in by others standing. There was no where we could go.

People tried to push past us to get out the doors and nearly sent DS flying. I firmly asked if they could use one of the other doors and I literally couldn't go anywhere. Cue mutterings and dirty looks!

We couldn't collapse the pram there wasn't room to do and as no one had offered a seat we couldn't move anywhere! WIBU to ask them to use another door?

This is bullshit! T-roll !

Ah I see now you didn't have that many bags! Really between two adults you couldn't hold the briefcase, pram bag (why separate bag for formula) and a boots bag? Not sure why you couldn't have left friend with buggy, moved to the vacant area in middle of the aisle and fed your baby there ! But clearly you are entitled to make everyone around you move, I'm sorry but if it were that easy for people to use the other door then the train wasn't that busy and you could've moved.

You've had a bad day, perhaps the other commuters had worse?

[Concerned97]

So you've taken so many bags, buggies, bought stuff that you can't between yourself and your friend move with and then wanted to travel home in the rush hour.

If the amount of bags you had limited your mobility then you've bought and wish to carry to much in one go!

You were taking DS out for the day, that's lovely but perhaps in future do it outside of rush hour? Feed your baby in the waiting room at the station before trying to do it on a packed commuter train?

They charge an additional premium to travel in the morning rush hour to put off this type of scenario, they obviously assume that avoiding the evening rush hour with bags, buggies, slings and so much stuff you can't move and a hungry baby is down to common sense???

In future avoid the rush hour!

YABVVU!

Who uses a briefcase these days anyway? Missing the point...

[Moln]

I'd settle for photos of Aidan if a webchat is out the question.

[MaidrinRua]

Clumsy non working friend takes a briefcase out for a day trip?

[RonniePickering]

Nearly....

[PersephonePitstop]

Time for one last drip feed?

I travel in and out of Edinburgh on rush hour trains.... OP you would be eaten alive on our train. Your buggy would have been removed from the train for you and you would have been told to get a grip. Also the east coast Scots don't like people think they are better than them so you would have found someone making a song and dance to the conductor at the next stop and asking for you to be removed and catch the next service (conductors have discretion over bikes and buggies etc on busy services). Train companies like commuters not so much anyone else.....if you are Edinburgh way pleasssssseeeee do this on my train as it would be hilarious!

Olivia Can we get a web chat with Aiden. After all he is a great source of interest to MnersandImmanlessatm

[TheCatsMeow]

My pram bag. Friends breifcase. Bag of formula to make up bottles. One bag of stuff from boots.

It's not like we'd been out shopping we took DS somewhere

[MumOnTheRunCatchingUp]

Right, so you both don't work. Nice

[ilovesooty]

So what if there'd been an accident caused by your blocking the door?

[lorelei9]

OP, it's taken you 900 posts to say you weren't shopping? I asked so many times and you were the one who mentioned bags.....

are you going for a record, you want to hit 999 posts and then say you were coming back from a hospital with medical equipment in the bags?

risky approach given how fast this thread is filling up.

[Moln]

Right back to the train. If it's the one I'm thinking it is, given your location, it is possible to not make the door along due to having to squish past all the people around the door.

[MumOnTheRunCatchingUp]

Assuming that because you mentioned bags of shopping!

[Sirzy]

Why did you have bags of shopping if you hadn't been shopping?

[thelouise]

Are you sure you're not jellus of all the working people?!!

[FattieDoc]

What rare you doing on the bloody train at peak hour??
If you were having a day out- travel after 9-30 and stop BU!

[lorelei9]

moln - I said "oil oil" because WD40 disappears quite fast. And it smells like something you use for boring DIY jobs. OMD there is no way to say this without sounding rude....

now that's set me off laughing again. Poor Aidan, I doubt anyone says his name in a sentence without "towel" or "oil" or "dream".

[ihaterain]

So why couldn't you have waited for the next train then to feed.your baby, and fold your buggy up then.
