When was the first time you took a train?

Inspired by this Bjork interview, she said she enjoyed travelling by train in Germany / touring rather than taking planes. Citing the change in molecular structure / atmospheric pressure in the sky on the human body as a negative consequence and the positive benefit of seeing the country during transit. She says the reason is also because Iceland didn't have a railway system at the time, so everyone just rides around in their Jeeps from one place to the next.

Many citizens like those in Malta or America have also been said to have never ridden a train. Curious to see what ATRL experience has been.

    For actual transportation (getting from one city to another) probably when I was 18. Yes I'm American

  • Probably when I was like 12/13 and me and my friends wanted to go to a big shopping centre a few cities away (Meadowhall for those who might know nn). But, I love trains. I drive and have a car and I

I was a child. Don't remember what age, though. But I do love taking the train into the city.

I wouldn't know for sure, pretty sure since I was a baby lol, we've always had a pretty decent train service.

i don't like trains i've only taken them a few times while traveling

i prefer walking all around if i had to

when i was 17 for some D

i listened to Honeymoon by Lana on entire trip there and back

I think I was around 4 or 5. I remember I had to have stitches on my chin because I busted it at a train station.

As a child on a day trip for fun with my family. I didn't actually ride one for any true purpose until college.

yes, I'm American [2]

I LOVE TRAINSSSSSSSS like, the autism jumped out! My first time on a train was when I was 6 or 7 and I travelled with grandma to her birth city while my parents travelled there simultaneously by car rip I also have this vivid memory of nibbling on some Cheerios on the train. Then in 2013 and 2014 for school trips. And then when I moved abroad and actually experience WAY better trains, I started using them more often.

I've travelled by train in the following countries:

Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Italy, Austria, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey ducky

I think I was like 5 when I first took the subway with my grandma.

I was 11 when I took a train from Orlando to Miami with my grandma.

Excluding theme park trains

I think I was 8 years old when my family took a trip to DC and New York where we took the subways in each city.

My first intercity train was when I traveled to France at the age of 19.

But, I love trains. I drive and have a car and I still use trains all the time! Trains pride!

quite young, I have core childhood memories of riding the tube to London Zoo and being terrified we were gonna fall between the train and platform rip

When I was 3 or 4? My parents would take me into the city a lot or up and down the coast to different cities.

I live in NJ and work in Manhattan NY, so I take the NJTransit commuter rail daily along with the MTA subway.

For travel/leisure, I usually take Amtrak around 2-3x a year.

Like 9 years old, when I moved from my birthplace to California and took BART
