Title: Relationships with fellow passengers Post by: grahame on February 14, 2018, 16:12:45 A third of under-35s have flirted with someone they have met on public transport, and 23% have dated someone they have met this way. Is it acceptable to date someone you meet on your journey? Since the research was done by the Go Ahead group, it would seem there's a hidden authority for this behaviour from the researchers.
From Monday's Metro - not been able to find it online; felt it was a good topic for Valentine's day!

What might be more interesting to know is how many Senior Rail pass holders are still flirting on public transport. :o Title: Re: Relationships with fellow passengers Post by: stuving on February 14, 2018, 19:42:46 I thought that was just a bit of brand recognition PR for Go-Ahead.
But wouldn't it work better if there was a "Go-Ahead Virgin joint venture" behind it? Title: Re: Relationships with fellow passengers Post by: JayMac on February 14, 2018, 23:17:59 Rush Hour Crush is a regular reader submitted feature in Metro.

Someone I now regard as a good friend I met on a train, we just got chatting on the train without knowing who each other were as we’d seen each other taking photos. Left the train none the wiser to each other’s identity, but later on that day photos uploaded to a Facebook group, and a friend request appeared. We now meet up for a trip every few months.

A few years ago now, I used to commute into Bristol daily by train, and often there was a blind man with his guide dog making the same journey. We regular passengers used to help him and his dog climb aboard, and alight, as appropriate. Indeed, on one occasion (I have recounted this story before), the guide dog toppled off the platform while trying to avoid walking through puddles at Nailsea & Backwell - and several of us rushed over to retrieve her from the tracks. Years later, in my current job, I now deliver groceries to that man - and I introduced myself, on the first occasion, by referring to that incident. The blind man was delighted to renew our acquaintance - "Blimey, Chris, I haven't seen you for ages!" he said. ;D Title: Re: Relationships with fellow passengers Post by: grahame on February 19, 2018, 06:54:44 Years later, in my current job, I now deliver groceries to that man - and I introduced myself, on the first occasion, by referring to that incident.
