The Chains

The Chains are an area of Third Class occupied by young people. They are a Grand Total of 12 Cars Long. The name itself is very ironic being that the chains are a place for young 3rd class passengers who want more freedom to live while the name chains refers to being chained up or without rights. 
== History==
===Season 1===
As implied by Roche, this was not actually a standard living space for 3rd class, as we can see 3rd class cabins in the show, but moreover an artistic outreach of a younger generation that wanted more freedom. This reflects in the design of the cars, which look very industrial and artistic.S01E01 - First, the Weather Changed When Melanie Cavill went to the Chains to stop Third from going on strike, a Woman yelled out and was abused by Jackboot Clifford.
