Anywhere, for any reason. I work remotely and could do so comfortably on the train, so what's the rush? I'd rather spend more time and have a good experience than be treated like livestock at the airport.
How does one "work comfortably on the train"? Assuming you are using a computer, or even do anything else intellectual including reading, the constant vibrations and movement of the train places a very definitive strain on the eyes (because they have to constanly work to even be able to focus on what you're looking at) and makes it harder to concentrate. Many people experience the rocking effect where they get very sleepy. The internet connection will just inevitably end up being worse and less reliable, completely off in some areas. You don't have access to a great desk, to a great chair, you are constantly distracted by noises. Dependent on what your seating arrangement is, you can be distracted by your neighbors, even if they don't talk to you. There is very little space, you can forget getting up and stretching well or taking short walks to gather your thoughts. How does any of this amount to "comfortable work"? Have you tried working on a train? It is an illusion that one could comfortably work on one. Even reading a book comfortably might be a stretch on some of them.
