Pax

Pax is a term used in the travel industry for a seat onboard an aircraft occupied by one or more passengers. On social media it is common for this term to also relate to passengers on the railway.

Railways

In railway parlance, 'passenger', as well as being the end user of a service, is also a categorisation of the type of rolling stock used.^[1] In the British case, there are several categories of passenger train.^[1] These categories include:

• 'Express passenger', which constitutes long distance and high speed railway travel between major locations such as ports and cities.^[1]
• 'Semi-fast express passenger', a type of service that is high speed, though stops at selected destinations of high population density en-route.^[1]
• 'Local passenger', the lowest category of British passenger train, which provides a service that stops at all stations between major destinations, for the benefit of local populations.^[1]
