ever tried jumping a train?

is it still a feasible option for drastically discounted transportation?



i can pack a lunch or two

 

dangerous nowadays man..

are you a tough mutherfucker? ya not afraid to get the shit kicked outta ya an all your shit stole? if so,, yeah its very viable an kids still do it.

oh,,cant be afraid of losin a leg,that aint no joke i know a couple kids your age missin legs from trains,but hell thats always been a risk..

 

i survive

no

i have no shit

im coordinated

 

dunno about jumpin a train as in jumpin in front of a train but i used to always hithc a ride on the trains back in the UK... then when the transport police started crackin down on fare-dodgers i kinda stopped doin it as much - it used to be worth it for a trip up to london whn i was a kid but now i think they have the power to stop and detain anyone who gives a fake address or anything that is even slightly dodgy... it did used to make for a great way of getting home in the mornings tho, grabbing the first train outa the place, sleepin in the smokin car, hidin in the toilets whenver a guard came along.

i'd still do it if i was strapped for cash and found myself away from my lodgings, but 4 sure the british transport police have cracked down a hell of a lot.

 

sounds fun!

 

I used to just get on the train and hide in the bathroom while they were checking tickets, and then sneak out like 10 minutes later. But i think now some places check your tickets before you get on the train?

But to answer your question i have jumped a train. the story is probably really hard to beleive. but once when i was 14 my mom kicked me out. actually more than once. but this particular time i was hanging out with this group of grungy punk kids at walmart. i grew up with those kids. a couple of them were homeless and a couple of them were runaways. we got the brilliant idea to just hop a train and see where it takes us. but where it took us was worse than where we came from. it took us to bumfuck richmond. and i was on the rag, it was terrible and im actually surprised i lived through it.

 

forget it i bought one instead

 

jk thanks for the replies everyone obviously its dangerous but i feel like it would be quite an accomplished adventure plus its screwing the man!


if im clever enough ill just sneak on

 

My nephew used to do it, but got caught and arrested for trespassing. It was a really expensive ticket.
