Do you avoid sitting backwards on a train?

[Cherry234]

If a train is moving in one direction (i. e. east or west) do you avoid sitting in the opposite direction the train is going?

[WindAtMyBack]

I don't remember a train with regular seats facing backwards. But I've sat at a table in the club car facing backwards. That was 48 years ago and I never thought about it before until you asked this question. So it didn't stand out as feeling weird or anything. What I really remember about it was how expensive the meal on a train was.

I have not been on a train in over 20 years. I am planning on it soon though. I didn't know that this was an option. Last I was on a train the seats all faced forward.

[Cherry234]

It is a thing with some trains.

[ArrowheadSW]

Have you ever been on an Amtrak train that had backwards facing seats? I'll be going on Amtrak.

[Cherry234]

I've been on an Amtrak but I don't remember. I take the LIRR and it has front and backwards facing seats.

[Smoke-n-Growls]

Yeah. I try to avoid sitting sideways, and try to stay close to where the bus/train doesn't move around a lot.

Otherwise I get severely motion sick.

[DizzyDesii]

Nah i’ll sit either way but i can't stare out the window long because i get dizzy

[dustybiker]

Not sure. It’s been a long time since I’ve been near a train.

[loveslongnails]

I prefer sitting forward, but if there's a window seat facing backwards and none forward, I'll take that.

[Cherry234]

I would take it too. It beats standing up the whole time.

[Kabluie]

Trains with a first class that have 1:1 across from each other, I let my partner decide which seat they want. Otherwise if I'm alone and it's general cab, I don't care.

[Smashingdoozy]

Yeah makes me feel ill

[Nikki1989]

Yeah, usually.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, I would do so

[AsaKyo]

A very seldom ride on a train

[Xtendable]

No, go with the flow

[Methis]

Yes. Feels weird

[Cherry234]

It does feel a little weird.

[pizzalovershouse]

Usely yes
