Would you rather ride backwards or forwards on a train?

Well it depends on the destination. I have done both...backwards gives me a view of what I am leaving....forward gives me a view of what adventure I am going to embark on. ;)

Definitely forwards, otherwise I get motion sickness.

It doesn't matter for me. I am comfortable both ways.

I would ride backwards. I don't know why, but it just seems more comfortable.

I would not sit, if I had to face people...on any train.
That is just too ''in-ya-face'' for me.

As for going backwards, that's fine. I can go forward or backward...

Oh! Wow! Sometimes, if there's a spare seat, you've NO choice! I travelled to/fro work, by train, for 40 years', & was pleased to get a seat, any which-way!

I prefer to go forwards. If it's a crowded peak hour train and I have no choice, I'll sit backwards instead of standing, but only if I have to.

Can only sit forward sitting. Makes me very uncomfortable going backward on a train or a bus.

I don't have a preference on trains.

I do not actually care but my husband would not absolutely ride backwards. He has to ride forward always. So when we are together on train, I ride forward. Otherwise, I do not care.

I prefer to face forwards. When there are plenty of seats I sit next to the window, facing forwards and if it is warm or hot weather I choose the side of the train that is not in the sun. When there are lots of people on the train I am just grateful for any seat.

Prefer forward, but don't get motion sick sitting backwards.
So, a seat's a seat, especially if crowded, which trains' invariably were in peak hours!
