‘I made curtains on the train’: the commuters livening up their journeys (www.theguardian.com)

The pandemic opened the eyes of many to the benefits of running or cycling to work – or “active commutes” – and some have kept up the habit.

No longer content with long drives or boring train rides, commuters have been seeking ways to make their journeys more productive and enjoyable.

I always like to work on my laptop, when I'm on the train. It's great, because there's no distractions, not much else to be doing. If the train ride is long enough, I can really get into the zone and be more productive than I'm anywhere else.

I take the train to my new job and I gotta say I didn't expect to like working on the train so much. If you pass through any nnicd areas you have a nice view, the upper floors are quiet zones during rush hour, the seats are fairly comfortable. It's nice! The drive is about half the time, but even if I could drive there I wouldn't.
