An idea around using up ‘dead time’ on commuter trains through having a social carriage included on the train. Facilitated by Channel4 using online networks as a convening badge of some description in order to enable those who want to be active in their communities to help others who they are connected to via the geography of the train line, and in doing so to use up some of the tedious time on the train for the public good. A reputation management system could add to the legitimacy of those involved in the ‘connection’.
