When travelling by train we often get bored because it is a long time in the same position. However, you can make your journey way too pleasant. Here are some tips you can find useful for your next trip!!!
🎧 Entertainment Tips
- Make a “Train Tracks” Playlist
Create a playlist specifically for your journey—include train-themed songs, chill tracks for scenery gazing, and upbeat ones for arrival excitement. (e.g., “Midnight Train to Georgia,” “City of New Orleans,” or even train ASMR.)
-
Bring a Book With a Train in it
​​​​​​​Reading “Murder on the Orient Express,” “The Girl on the Train,” or even “The Polar Express” while on a train adds meta layers of enjoyment.
- Download a Railway Scanner App or Route Guide
Some train lines have enthusiast apps or unofficial guides showing landmarks, tunnels, and hidden trivia along your route.
- Start a “Train Log” Journal
Record quirky things: people watching notes, meals you eat, conversations overheard (respectfully!), and scenery descriptions. Add a sketch or doodle of the train car.
- Do some exploring
​​​​​​​One of the plenty advantages that travelling by train has is the flexibility of movement. Once you get bored of being sitted, you can go for a walk. Wander over the corridors of the train, go to the bathroom, eat something on the restaurant… The options are infinite!
