Train

The train is comprised of 75 carriages, each measuring 40 metres in length by 20 metres in width. Straddling two sets of 3 metre wide tracks, it travels at 4 miles per hour, and never stops. Inhabitants live inside the mountain carriages which also contain labs, factories, hydroponic gardens, gyms, dorms, kitchens, nightclubs and everything else they need. On the mountains are swimming pools, fish farms, and bookable huts for periods of isolation.

The train is so cruel
2013-08-26 15:52:37 — Elliot
a room with walls and floors that are like trampolines and it is all spongy so you can do anything :)

Great project, but seems to be inspired by Christopher Priest's "The Inverted World". But that is more to its credit than its detriment. So my caption for this is "Another Inversion"

A prison for anyone who has commited a crime on the train. They don't even get to be somewhere nice. They are put beside the reactor.

It looks pretty nice and i am quite fond of the idea but were will it go and how long will this take to make.

The train has a RNR reactor wich enables to recicle nuclear waste

A self sufficient, bio diverse environment - no need to live anywhere else. Though others might think or say, "you need to get out more"

Library carriage. Full of books, but nothing of a subversive nature, such as about any other form of kingdom.

Suicide carriage. A place to die humanely by quietly dropping through a hole in the floor
2013-04-30 23:05:55 — Dr Death
Each cabin contains the strict minimum of what a single person might need during a limited period of time. The booking of these isolation cabins allows the user to meditate and dream. The walls of the cabins are filled with smelly seeds to provide a particular atmosphere, depending on its occupant.
2013-04-30 19:31:22 — Mrs Glynn
The radioactive waste is vitrified and stacked in a monumental cylinder on carriage 2. The height of the faintly glowing column reveals the train's age.

Swimming Pool

A bit of a radio-active swim to get you ready for a brand new day on the the train de nuclear
2013-08-26 15:55:52 — elliot
can the sides and bottom be made of glass?
2013-08-15 14:54:46 — glassfreak
Riding arena for those that are interested. A big food hall where there is every type of food that you can even imagine and you can also make your own.
2013-08-15 14:53:32 — Cartoondog
Radioactivity does not go out of the reactor, it's save to put the pool near
2013-08-04 14:39:47 — Alvaro Albarran
Clubs going on of all sorts of things like a chess club and a dancing club or it could be a gym.
2013-07-30 15:29:47 — Rebbeca
i thought the swimming pool is used to cool the reactor?
2013-07-28 14:40:11 — Tobi
We should have a pool party with water polo!!
2013-07-10 11:09:30 — Konrad
Add a skatepark aswell?
2013-07-03 15:13:45 — skaterboi
I think it would be great if one carriage was dedicated to wildlife reserve
2013-06-06 10:24:46 — jOE train
a place to practice your "water breathing" on case of a catastrophe. to live in the abyss of the sea and survive.
2013-06-03 15:15:20 — vera
should not be near nuclear power station due to health risks
2013-05-31 13:11:02 — otto
very good swimming pool
2013-05-25 15:11:48 — Thomas
Swimming is sports - competition! They should be able to jump up and stay in the air for as long as the train comes back to the same position, unless... they give up and land down onto the next carriage - wehter it is their next door neighbour or a carriage further down on train. auuch!1
2013-05-05 14:46:17 — neringa
As well as swimming pools, it would be great if there was space for other sports, like tennis, 5-a-side football, or squash.

Bookable Isolation Cabins

Luxurious inprisonment causes gradual brain decay and loss of the ability to dream, imagine or think creatively. This carriage is used for secretative intoxication rituals held by small groups wanting to stimulate the brain through the use of complex chanting, meditative techniques and drug taking.
2013-08-24 12:34:40 — @betonykelly
Cabins must be designed in a way that the users should never see each other when they are leaving or gettin in which will protect the privacy of those who wish to be isolated from the train.
2013-08-05 14:57:21 — ZEY
How about a simple thing like a car park?

2013-06-05 12:20:29 — DeerDiary
Mysterious, creepy, some say haunted. Rarely booked by passengers on The Train, but those that do never leave the isolation booths. As passengers draw near the booths physics change, time slows. Some imagine it is zone where one's secret hopes come true.
2013-05-07 15:08:07 — SilverKitten
Cabins definitely should have items in the air which might make sound.Having the train move 4km/h they would only make sound if the wind outside picks up, which means it would be a meditative place.IF the wind picks up,only then the sounds awaken those in the isolation cabin &they ar ready to leave.

Wildlife Club Facilities and Bird Watching Tower

in the same way that the old Mail trains would scoop up or drop off bags of mail, those who disembark could get scooped back up further down the train. This would be in the form of giant butterfly nets.
2013-05-21 09:34:41 — Erin D
A round platform with chairs in rows. Platform moves in cirlces on the carriage, it has the bird tower in the middle - allowing to admire the view while adjusting audience view depending to the choice of the landscape, i.e.position the seats so that the background is where the sun lands.
2013-05-05 14:54:40 — neringa
At 4mph, younger members of the population can dismount from the train and run along side, or even out into the surrounding forests, if they are fit enough. Of course they risk being stranded and left alone by the tracks for weeks if they don't get back on in time.

I think there should be a carriage dedicated to e-sports, with over 20,000 high quality computers that can even play Battlefield 4 on Ultra quality. The LAN connection should be insanely powerful ensuring a great gaming experience in which many hours can be wasted.
2013-07-04 10:38:09 — Bilbo Robert Albert Michael-Allen Gary Derbyshire
Hmmm…Do they show any Independent Asian Cinema? Tarkovsky, Goddard and Kubrick will do though.
2013-06-05 12:23:19 — DeerDiary
would real life views be available?

What about a school carriage? Would children attend schools and colleges on the train or would they need to be educated elsewhere?

Public transport terminal - like a ... Train Station? So people could get from one end of the train to the other to get to work, school, performances etc.

A subtle mix of James Bond style luxury and stone age caves. Spatious common living rooms/fire places (kitchens). Cystalized light celing make up for the little light that enters through the small cave openings. From the outside you can hardly spot the caves among all cracks, rocks and greenery.
