    Many people equate "quiet zone" with "don't use your mobile, but be as loud as you like otherwise". Ask them to shut it, or tell them to do one.

    I do have form form for telling people to get off the phone in the Quiet zone, and people are always ok about it.
    Opportunities arise here to pick up your phone and then loudly comment on what you're hearing

    'HI DAVE, THE BT DEAL IS AT £2M, TELL MIKE TO DROP OUR BID TO £1.95M. I HEARD THESE TWO BlOKES ON THE TRAIN!'

Others think it basically means "no phones" but otherwise fine for having a chat.

    Taking children in the quiet coach - what is the panel's view on this?

    Also, do many operators operate quiet 1st-class coaches? I've often found 1st is noisier since you still get crying babies, screaming kids and people on the phone or playing games on their iPad without headphones.
