A further 20% said they had met someone on a train journey who then became a friend.
The study, has been launched by East Coast Trains to mark 'I Love Trains Week', and more than a third of rail travellers believed that rail travel is closely associated with romance.
In addition to being the most romantic form of travel, it is also thought to be the most sociable, with 40% of respondents saying they would chat to a fellow passenger. This compares to just 15% of those on an airplane, and 11% of those who use a bus. Just 3% said they would chat to another passenger while on the tube.
Random acts of kindness were also more likely to be carried out on a train, with 37% saying that they had experienced a random act of kindness from a complete stranger while on a journey.
Commenting on the findings, television presenter Donna Air, said: "I think there is something very romantic about a train journey – it's the perfect opportunity to share some time with a loved one.
"There's a real sense of adventure, somehow you're in your own little bubble, and conversations and feelings become more memorable and intimate as you speed through the lovely British countryside. I love trains. They've been a huge part of my life.'
East Coast Managing Director, Karen Boswell, added: "I Love Trains Week, celebrates the nostalgia and romance of trains and train travel. Whether it's visiting grandparents for the weekend, or the couple who first met on the 08.25 from Newcastle, train travel offers more than a journey from A to B.
"Our customers make 20 million journeys with us every year, and as well as helping them get to where they need to be, nothing makes us happier than helping people get together to capture special moments with a loved one to create the best of memories."
