What annoys you about taking trains to work?

Answer 1

the congestion mostly...a 3 coach train when a 5 coach one is needed...having to stand all the way (but I found a nice place to be - next to the cab)...the display board saying the trains on time but the train is 3 minutes late (adding more congestion)...the delays 'cuase the signalmen forgot to change the signal...leaves on the line...rain...etc

Answer 2

I've commuted to work for 5 years on CalTrain in the San Jose- San Francisco Bay Area, and have had VERY few problems.

The ONE thing would be the Junior High and High School students that commute to school, and have no respect for others. Fortunately, the adults on that car have worked with the conductors and put an end to the problem: We wrote letters to the SCHOOLS, and the problem stopped.

CalTrain has very professional conductors and police that keep the trains clean, safe, and comfortable.

I also use ACE (the Altamont Commuter Express) to travel the 120 miles to visit my brother... THAT is a wonderful train: clean (inside and out), on time, and peaceful.

Answer 3

The passengers who always moan about the service when their train is about a minute late & then they moan when they the passenger arrive at station late and the doors are shutting on the train, they jam themselves between the closing door, meaning that the driver has to re-open the doors so delaying the train, which the passenger then starts moaning is running late! They do not seem to realise that it was their fault that the train has ended up late!

(Did you know that 88% of train now run on time in the UK?)

Also people who use their phones to listen to the radio and blearing the music out so everyone hears it..

First Capital Connect as they are always running late & I miss my connection at London Blackfriars, then when I look on the log I cannot find why they run their trains late!

Answer 4

My Train home is usually delayed (only since they took the slack out of the timetable and my train now arrives 5 mins late on a daily basis - at the old time :))

Answer 5

The rush hour train to my work has only one carriage and is packed to bursting, whereas the one an hour later has three carriages and there aren't enough people on there to even fill one! Ridiculous! Also, the train from my house to my connecting stationis nearly always late, so I miss my connection to work. I'm late often. I'm sure my managers think I'm trying to be smart, but I'm not!

Answer 6

Oh don't even get me started. I've been commuting into London for about eight years now and I think it's all starting to get to me.

1. People who open the window on their side to get some fresh air or cool their side down. The only problem is its muggins here who gets to feel the cold air on the opposite side.

2. People playing music on their phones out loud. It doesn't even sound good!

3. People who sit down really forcefully on the seat next to you - nearly damaging your hip in the process!

4. People refusing to move down the carriage when other people want to get on.

5. Cancellations due to wet weather

6. Cancellations due to hot weather

7. Cancellations due to the crew arriving late

8. Increasing fares

9. People walking at the speed of a snail when going through the barriers or leaving the train.

That's about it for now!

Answer 7

Having to listen to people moan about it. Listen to Ipods, Mp3's etc which are too loud, listen to other peoples conversation on telephones, or look at peoples work on there laptops because its open to everyone. Or someone trying to read a broad sheet newspaper when the train is full.

Dog training are excellent and very helpful to build you a stronger relationship with your dog. Read more http://OnlineDogTraining.enle.info/?62K2

Well, my dog didn't know what hit her when he arrived. It was like boot camp for dogs, lol.
But I tell you, in the space of 2 weeks of teaching me how to train my dog, I was already seeing great results.

Especially if you have a little horror of a dog on your hands which clearly shows that she is this way because you let her get this way which in turn shows that you don't know what the hell you are doing as a dog owner.

Don't take offence to that because I was exactly the same way. I have a 5 year old jack russell and when she was 3 she turned into a little nightmare and it was because I let her get that way. I had no idea what was going on. All I knew was that she was fighting all the time with my older dog and I had to do something to put a stop to it. Turned out to be the typical dominance issue thing with my younger dog wanting to take over the household and then the world no doubt.

I got a trainer in who was excellent. He moved to Australia from America where I think he used to train police dogs and he spent a good time with me on the phone before I employed him to come and train my dog. He is also a dog behaviourist and I tell you, any question I threw at him he could answer and explain and advise on.


I saw him about 3 or 4 times but to this day I say every cent was worth having harmony in my home. It was either that or I was thinking of putting my dog on medication or getting rid of her. I'm so glad I took the responsibility to fix the problem in the right way. My little dog has turned from complete monster to very well behaved, loyal and obedient little angel. She still has her moments but she knows who's boss in the house and it definitely isn't her.

Go for it, do your research, get references, try to get someone who has behaviour as well as training experience and you should be okay.
