Quiet Zone?

Story location: Home / Blog /
07/Feb/2006

The Virgin Trains usually have a couple or carriages designated Quiet Zones, where they ask the passengers to refrain from any music or mobile phones which may disturb others. Most people tend to respect this and you only get the occasional phone ringing. Today was the exception, with a baby crying almost all the way from Birmingham to Coventry. People really shouldn't take babies into the quiet carriages unless they can actually keep quiet. They aren't called 'Quiet commuter and crying baby' zones, and for a very good reason.

I've never been in a properly quiet Quiet Zone before - there's always someone with a mobile, and someone else telling them off for using it.

Normally people ignore any moblie phone use (this being England, no-one wants to say anything, etc...) but recently I've noticed more people asking others to not use phones or to try to be quieter.
