I have actually come to like the voyagers during covid when they have been more or less empty and you can pick your seat. Reasonably comfortable seat by modern standards and nice big windows.As long as required by the journey. Unless it is a voyager when the time limit is 15 seconds.

Almost 10 hours old, almost 2 thirds of people on here love being on a train. How representative of the wider travelling public that is, I don’t quite know. I suspect not representative at all.
I'm not sure sleepers entirely count in this sort of discussion, considering you have a bed and will be asleep for much of the time!I've done quite a few 12hr+ sleepers, including a couple 18hr+. I really enjoyed it, and would be happy to do them again, or even longer ones.
Well, for the 24hr one I didn't sleep for all that - nice may that have been!I'm not sure sleepers entirely count in this sort of discussion, considering you have a bed and will be asleep for much of the time!
Take up cloud spotting!I get bored even in business. The only reason I don't on a train is the constantly changing scenery.
I went on the 05XX Shrewsbury to Cardiff via Llandrindod Wells as far as Bridgend before I cracked.
Wait till you try their diesel-powered cousins.At least it has big windows and a good PA. There it stops. Northern line Tube trains have a better ride.
I suppose I could put up with a 142 or a 15x all day, but no to a 331.
I do find that a long train journey can be enhanced with the ability to visit the buffet car.
Even better is a proper sit down bistro like DB's.
