One plan would be to allow you to book the quiet carriage (or a loud
one) on qjump / thetrainline etc. I want to be able to use my mobile on the train, but I invariably get allocated the flippin' "quiet carriage" which even without the mobiles seems pretty noisy to me. Regards Kevin |

ups.com... Not sure about "larger louts" (seems a bit fattist to me) but screaming brats, or "children" as we call them, have as much right to be on a train as you do (assuming they are not in the quiet carriage). With the best will in the world, children sometimes make loud unexpected noises and even responsible parents cannot - and indeed should not - expect them to remain mute on a long train journey. Incorrect. Anyone, and I do mean anyone, who acts in a fashion resulting in other peoples' journeys being adverseley affected should not travel. If they're a kid, then it's their parent's fault. Kids do not have carte blanche to run around ****ing everyone else off. No-one's saying they should remain mute, but if they're being noisy, there's no excuse. wrote: Evil, good but evil. Now can you come up with a way to deal with screaming brats and larger louts. |

... "Jon" wrote in message et declared for all the world to hear... Suggestions? Sit in the quiet carriage. But there isn't room for *all* of us in there..! The whole train should be phone-free. As should buses for that matter. There should be a "Noisy carriage", with the rest of the train being silent. That way screaming kids can go **** phone users off. Everyone wins. Ivor |

Record the calls or make some note, especially if there's anything that sounds confidential, and publish transcripts or summaries on the web or a newsgroup. Comments? Suggestions? Does a site or newsgroup already exist for this? Discuss their conversation like it's an episode of Coronation Street/Eastenders/Whatever, staring intently at them, hanging off their every word. I did that to some lady on the bus who decided she wanted to hold a conversation on her phone AND her husband simultaneously (he was 4 rows away, at the back of the bus). My wife and I were taking the **** out of her for a minute or two before she hung up. Stupid woman. |

I don't know but it never ceases to amaze me why all the really noisy
and annoying people seem to make a bee-line for the Quiet Carriage. When I was commuting through South Wales on FGW recently it was typically the noisiest place on the train. Ggggrrrrrr! Andy |

Some of us are on that train not for the pure pleasure of travel, but because we're rushing around trying to make a living. Customers need attention NOW. Or they go elsewhere. It's a privilege to have employment now. Let us get on with it. |
