 * If this article was titled The Girl on the Train, or it redirected to here, a hatnote would be needed. However this page is specifically titled with 2016 film. How would somebody looking for one of the other uses of The Girl on the Train end up here? JDDJS (talk) 04:09, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
 * It wouldn't hurt to put the briefest note explaining the relationship, especially between the 2016 and 2009 movies, between all these items. JohndanR (talk) 04:37, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

Paragraph spacing
I’ve added paragraph spacing in most of the sections so that it is easier to read. No wording was changed unless mentioned in edit summary. I also believe this change has a practical application for the future, so that if any links/references need to be added or updated, the existing references/links are not stacked and crowded in on eachother, thus leaving less of a chance of accidentally deleting things or errors that happen with html code.

Plot
I have edited the plot to give more context for the following that were previously not shown:

Added that Megan worked for The Watson’s as a nanny.

Added The sexual relationship (alluded to) between Megan and Dr. Abdic, to support further statement about paternity of Megan’s unborn child.

Added that Rachel was seen in the vicinity of Megan’s disappearance to support the statement/cause of her being questioned by the police.

Added that by chance, Rachel ran into Martha on the train, prompting their conversation.

Removed the details of the Man who followed Rachel because it does not actually end up being a major factor in her Black outs being revealed to  her and the story holds up without it.

Details about Megan’s therapy sessions were left out by other editors, and I   also agree with that, as they seem to   have no real key effect The things left out do not affect the main plot overall, i.e. As a teenager, Megan had an affair with her dead brothers best friend, gets pregnant and the baby dies in a case of accidental negligence. That history is summarily simplified by her by her presumed diagnoses of sex addiction, dishonesty, and her fear of getting pregnant.

Other Notes of fact or fiction as I read through prior edits while watching the movie:

The backstory of Tom having left Rachel for Anna and what amount of  time what has passed since then is      not shown, but is alluded to.

Rache and Anna are not arrested after Tom is killed, but they are brought in for questioning, and the viewer never sees the results of   those interviews.

Completed: shortened length of plot to to be 400-700 words as per WP:FilmPlot & WP:Plotbloat ~ Is down to 525 words as of 3/24/18.
