What seat on train is best for motion sickness?

Cars in the front of the train are usually more steady feeling than the cars near the end. The optimal seat to prevent motion sickness is a seat in the middle of one of the first train cars. Be sure to choose a forward-facing seat, and if you're riding a double-decker train, stay on the bottom level.

Because motion sickness is caused by mixed signals of what you see and hear, it's best to sit where there is less movement during the journey. Typically, the best seats for this are in the middle, as you are more likely to remain still there as the engine's vibrations and bumps in the road are felt less.
