tamguatlay Are both sentences OK? Hi, I don't think so. I wouldn't use 'on board' and 'trains' together in a sentence as you have used, for example.

  • Hi, I don't think so.
  • I wouldn't use 'on board' and 'trains' together in a sentence as you have used, for example.
  • I think "on board" itself means ' in or on a ship, train, plane, or other vehile' .
  • So, I would say that only your second sentence "Please do not eat or drink on trains" is correct.
