Why do I get the feeling only the noisiest people will be drawn to using this?
whenever it gets close to whitechapel- easy
I want to see the whole train compete to be the quietest carriage
Is there an annoying tiktok on speaker meter?
How about some wifi?
Ahhh quiet=least crowded, not the least loud. Sounds like the is the same as some mainline trains (like Thameslink) have had for a few years. Just uses load cells at either end of the carriage to estimate how loaded the carriage is & then show a graphic to summarise how busy each carriage might be. Article suggests this will actually be displayed on the platform also which is a great game changer; you will actually be able to potentially position yourself to stand a change of getting on a less busy carriage rather than a cram as soon as the door open.
I’d really love if they introduced an express train every so often that stops only at the most important stations: ie where I get on and where I need to get off
Can we connect this to platforms so people joining trains can know in advance? I know that’s a pipedream but it would make a big difference if station staff could help even out numbers along the trains.
Once you get to Stratford, it can get pretty quiet eastbound. Westbound and it just gets worse beyond this stop
The Long Island Railroad in NY has this. And unfortunately, no, it doesn’t actually mean “quiet” there either. Not that there’s any such thing in this world anymore. Everyone needs to be seen and heard nonstop or they will die from lack of attention.
