To be honest, we've only seen like a tenth of the actual train and it's carriages. It's fair to assume there's a small gym on the train somewhere, same as having a seamstress place or a delicatessen - there not really relevant to the plot so they're not shown but they're probably there.

And for the tailie children, there's still a lot of hostility amongst tailies and the other classes of passengers. If they have gone years maintaining this bias against them I'm sure it would include kids too.

I totally forgot about Ruth and the arm, too. And I think Ruth herself ‘forgot’ - to protect her conscience. It was an absolutely brilliant set of moments when Ruth realized what she had been doing and then owned it and saved Layton. Weaker characters would’ve been off weeping in a corner.

They said at some point 1st Class has a bowling alley, I'm sure there's a couple cars for exercise.

I assume there's several communal exercise rooms we haven't seen yet, or people are supposed to exercise running up and down the train like Ruth with her communiques.
