What days do you regularly travel on?

[Techniquest]

Hi all,

I got curious on this in the small hours. I realised almost all my train travel is on Mondays, as it's the only day in the week when it's possible to go on a trip normally. However, I wonder what the forum's most usual day(s) is for a day on the trains.

Bit random I know, you can probably tell I couldn't get to sleep too quickly last night

Monday to Friday for me... 95% of it commuting.

Every day at the moment while I'm on shifts...

I'm on the train most weekdays during the July - August period, otherwise, I rarely travel outside of Thursday evenings. (unless I'm going 'up north' on the East Coast, usually two or three times a year)

Mondays and Thursdays usually have 200+ miles with considerably less or none on other days. If I travel weekends it's usually under 20 miles or over 100.

This week is a funny one as I'll be travelling 200+ miles each day from today until Thursday then about 20 on Friday and 200+ again on Sunday.

Usually Saturday, being the usual day for travels. Holidays from work excepted

Monday to Friday usually

All the time due to shift work, though the amount varies depending on if I am working or day off. Don't tend to do much travelling on a Sunday unless abroad as trying to go anywhere by train for leisure in this country on that particular day is a nightmare IMO.

Mostly Wednesdays to Fridays. 16.6 miles in total on Wednesdays & Fridays & 20.2 miles in total on Thursdays.

Every day , before , during and after work. Sometimes I get so lucky that I have to work saturday and sunday too which is even more journey time on trains..

I know the OP and others are fans of riding the rails but it honestly gets mind numbingly boring some weeks when I have to go to many different stations.

Friday Night after lectures finish, Monday morning before lecture start!

Almost always a Saturday or a Wednesday for me. Very occasionally Sundays too.

What gets mind numbingly boring is an approximately 110 minute commute on buses 5 or 6 days a week (depending on work and if I'm out on Mondays), it's very close to 3 years of doing it and quite frankly I'm bored out of my mind on it.

The above said, trying to be 'normal' is also mind numbingly boring! Think I covered this subject at enough length in a trip report in February. Now being abnormal/different/whatever, that's FAR more fun!

Oh yeah, and the other thing that's mind numbingly boring is the job I do. Really is dull and boring, not to mention a lot of hard work!

Ha ha.

I guess the one saving grace for me is that if I end up for away I can always have a snooze on the one back - even if it is just an hour
