When riding on a train with seats facing backward and forward. Does it matter to you which direction you face?

@AthrillatheHunt Apparently it's a known phenomenon for some people to suffer from motion sickness when traveling backwards at speed. I noticed it first started to affect me when I was in my early 30s and I've no idea why, after years of traveling by train all over Europe it suddenly hit me. TGVs and HSTs are awful if I can't get a forward facing seat.

@FreddieUK I can’t even read in a moving train or car , even if I’m facing forward. Still get nauseous. And I commuted by rail for several years. So many hours of wasted time I couldn’t get any work done.

@AthrillatheHunt I can't read on the move either. Even trying tp navigate for someone with a paper map (remember those?) is a challenge and as for reading through notes for a meeting - forget it. You have my sympathies and understanding.

@Mindfulness Is that a problem, post covid? Here everybody gets the two seats to themselves unless all the seats are taken. Or school is out and those little monsters think its funny trying to sit too close to you.

@Thevy29 oh it's nothing to do with covid, I just don't like people.
