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

I have to face forward.

Me too. Otherwise I get nauseous

@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.

@AthrillatheHunt Same with me. It is very common, in fact. It's not so bad on a train because that travels far more smoothly than a car.

At least there was a silver lining if you were an employee: you didn't spend your own, unpaid time, albeit travelling to and from work, working!

I can go either way. Afterall, I like both cowgirl and reverse cowgirl.

I prefer facing forward – the same direction that the train is traveling. Unfortunately, sometimes the train is too full and I have to sit backward. Facing seat..

I prefer facing forwards. Facing rearwards I find myself trying to turn my head or move my eyes to face forwards.
Forward I get often dizzy the other way

Yes, I too must face forward. I don't like riding in what feels like reverse.

It never worried me. But my wife always had to face the front..😷

I don't mind which way I'm traveling aslong as I'm not near the one who is gonna fart.
I have to be facing forward

I don't have to but it kind of irritates me if I don't sit in the direction of movement.

Forward every time. It's really annoying when the train reverses part way through the journey. 😕 In some places the seats are reversible, but not in the UK.

Don’t like standing much
I prefer to face forward, and I'd prefer a window seat, but I prefer to have a seat to myself even more. So will take a backward seat if I don't have to sit next to anyone.

@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.
