Sleeping Commuters - Andreos1 - 03 Sep 2013
The title says it all...
Get submitting your pics
RE: Sleeping Commuters - Adrian - 04 Sep 2013
There was one sitting next to me on the TP Express today. I was dying to get a photo, but too obvious because of how busy the train was.
There's always the fact of getting too distracted 'bird watching' too haha.

Booo!
Must admit, I hadn't attempted it before, but played with my phone a bit - bouncing it off my leg (as you do) and voila, got that.
If your 'bird watching', then you can look the total opposite direction and look even more discreet!

The other day I sawa toddler asleep on the bus, the look on the kids face suggested he was having a good dream if the smile on his face was anything to go by and he thrashed his legs about, as if he were running...Not exactly the right photo to take without a visit from the local bobbies.
Another one. although not bus related, me and my mate where driving around Murton. I had an airhprn and pulled up next to a guy asleep on a bench and drunk, well, put it this way, I never seen anybody jump and run away so fast in my life, it was the kind of scare that may possibly leave skidmarks, I dont mean from car tyres either

We discussed this a while back - can't find an appropriate thread.
So here goes - our first sleepy commuter!

Haven't seen any for a while, but.....

One from a while ago on a Virgin Train.

Caught this fella catching flies earlier.
His head kept going in a lovely circular motion too. Very rhythmic.

Is that Standard Class in East Coast....thought you would travel in First
RE: Sleepy Commuters - Andreos1 - 07 Dec 2014
Keep forgetting about this thread - remembered the other day.
RE: Sleepy Commuters - Adam - 09 Dec 2014
On yesterday morning's X25 going to uni. Excuse the slight blurriness, it is hard to get a decent photo when the bus is constantly moving.
Note the red file there in the bottom left corner, just after I finished collecting every single piece of paper that fell out when I dropped it
RE: Sleeping Commuters - Andreos1 - 21 Dec 2014
I knew there was another sleepy/sleeping commuters thread somewhere.
Any chance the two can be merged?

Not quite a commuter, but this guy in the Galleries made me chuckle.
RE: Sleepy Commuters - omnicity4659 - 21 Apr 2015
I once seen a passenger (or whatever their called these days) lying down across the back of the top deck of a Sapphire E400 before, it would have been 10 minutes into his journey if he got on at Haymarket lol

Don't think I'd trust myself to go to sleep on the X21/22, I'd probably wake up at Newbiggin
I think the only route I'd ever go to sleep on is an X18, when I get them down from Berwick on a Sunday occasionally now, a good 3 and a bit hours until it arrives in Morpeth

I'd be extremely bored by Amble, colossally bored by Craster, consider getting off at Seahouses but then realising it'll take the same amount of time without my seat and then suicidal by Beal.
Can't cope with a bus service as long as that, I'd rather live in Byker or somewhere with disposal houses.

Must be those lovely leather seats providing so much comfort, he's fallen asleep!
RE: Sleeping Commuters - Andreos1 - 29 May 2015
Got a cracking snorer - problem is, he is behind me and it would take a bit of skill and nerve to get him.
Will try...
Edit. Got it.

He'll be marking my assignment at the minute. I should try bribing him to give me a higher mark. If he doesn't, then the picture's going viral on my Facebook and Twitter
Get it printed and stuck up on a few noticeboards.

He's managed to get to sleep?! Is he louder than the squealing?
Sleeping Commuters - Jimmi - 26 Jul 2015
Been a while since we had one of these, this was from my journey home from Bishop Auckland on Thursday evening:
![[Image: 0cbdcbc18923975eb707099e524d153d.jpg]](http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07/26/0cbdcbc18923975eb707099e524d153d.jpg)
He was sat like this for about 10 minutes and spent much of the remainder of my journey with his head against the handrail.
Apologises that the photo is so large.

Hopefully this fella isn't anyone's uni lecturer!
RE: Sleeping Commuters - tyresmoke - 03 Aug 2015
Forgot I took this one but here's one from a few months ago on the SXConnect 133 between Braintree & Colchester

I screenshotted your photo of Dr David and showed it to a couple of my coursemates. They thought it was hilarious!
The chances of anyone appearing on here - who will be recognised, must be slim to nil. The chances of a snoring bloke on a train being your uni lecturer is just crazy!
RE: Sleeping Commuters - BusLoverMum - 05 Aug 2015
I didn't have the heart to take a photo of the completely exhausted looking woman who turned sideways in her seat on the 22, this afternoon, and tried to catch 40 winks. She woke up with a start as we were passing through Ryhope and yelled "whyisthebusgoingthisway!!!???" It had had to take a detour because of some re-surfacing work temporarily closing the road!
