train lint 

People who enter a train and get stuck at the door forcing everyone else to have to squeeze past them even though there's ample space further inside the compartment. Sort of like lint in the dryer.

See also, train lint catcher - a person who yells at train lint to move further in and stop blocking the door.

Man there was so much train lint on the 9:02 this morning, I feel like I've been in a mosh-pit. We could've really used a train lint catcher.

The Trainline Effect

An observable effect that results in the myopic and inattentive rejection of newer technology without logic and reason, and accusing the technology of causing issues that are simply human error (while the technology provides accurate information based on the request made by the user). This can be observed amongst large samples of the railway workforce.

I observed The Trainline Effect in action as the militant RMT rep once again blogged about a broken ticket machine, exclaiming “COMPUTERS NEVER WORK!”

NSW Trainlink 

Operator of replacement buses. However they do run a train every now and then.

NSW Trainlink cancelled the Sydney - Brisbane XPT and replaced it with a 15hr bus ride.
