HI; These sentences are OK. I don't see any connection between learning bridge on a train and a world affairs class, so I would not join the two sentences together. A group had been learning bridge on the train.

thanks. but can you be more specific?
There arent any rule to use "take place" instead of "there is" in this case and in general cases
by the way, when it is done by habit like the word " on wednesdayS" it means that it is singular? so..verb in singular?
Tanks in advance!
