that includes your daily commute every morning. we are here at snow hill station and you can see it is pretty quiet, just a couple of trains and a few commuters this morning. the problem is, as you have highlighted, that has a huge knock on effect for towns and city centres. if people are not here they are not spending. let s look at the numbers. train commuting currently is just numbers. train commuting currently isjust a third numbers. train commuting currently is just a third of its normal pre pandemic levels, and that tells you why. the roads are much busier, the trains remain pretty quiet. it is worth remembering that commuters spend money. people coming into town and city centres are collectively spent £30 billion per year, a lot of money. a lot of that is coming from food spending, may lunches out, drinks, dinnerafterwork. food spending, may lunches out, drinks, dinner after work. 12 concert on average a day and £12 on average a day and £8 on shopping, something in your lu

Abstract
An important task of mobility scholars is to attend to how time and space are generated through mobilities. Building upon research inspired by Deleuze and Guattari that foregrounds experiential mobilities, we use the notion of the refrain to chart experiences of long-distance rail commuting with a particular focus on how these journeys are crafted to be productive. Moreover, we consider a series of interruptions and their transformative potential. We read wanted and unwanted interruptions as breaks in the consistency of a refrain–disruptions to the socio-material, affective, and expressive arrangements that constitute a sense of productivity. We submit that in the wake of interruption, a refrain may dissolve or reform in three different ways: as repeat, as variation, or as developing variation. These categorisations help us to understand the differential influence of interruption on a refrain. We illustrate our argument by drawing on ethnographic research conducted with 1
