After smoking I recon loud mobile phone talking is pollution I can do without.

£5 on my ASDA sim card lasts me ages.

Only used for finding the wife while out shopping.

mobielRealizing I was a bit over the top in my first add to this thread I want to be more realisistic. A contributor has mentioned smoking. Could not mobiles be treated similarly with special carriages for users and none users as it used to be with smoking. Suggest 50/50. Mobile users who just want to take a couple of mins to make travel arrangements are not really a problem. If there is technology to stop the mobile signal thats even better.

I did'nt realise that you could obtain a mobile phone blocker -- FANTASTIC,
Last summer i was on a train from Paris to Milan, a bloke on the train was on the phone for 2x hours ( i don't know how) it was also in Chinese which no one was able to understand, so we never knew what it was about!

Go to Google and do a search on "purchase mobile phone jammer" and take your choice.

Mobile phone users and unruly kids on trains.
 

Kill them!!!

Last week I flew from Palama back to the East Midlands without so much of row.
No phones ringing, plenty of kids yelling.
In my view mobile phones should be like flying, switched off till you get off the train.
For safety only the Guard and Driver should be able to use mobiles in connection with the duties they carry out.
When I was a guard all we had to put up with was DAY ROVERS charging about.
One of the biggest leap forwards for traincrew was the issuing of company mobiles, which you could contact any railway phone in the UK

Trouble is "The wife" can find you :eek::D

I can still hear the Day Rovers running under subway at Huddersfield, but 2 on the buzzer left these little people on the platform.

I travelled the trains in Bavaria a couple of years ago. Phones are not allowed at all and everyone seems to follow the ruling.

Some hope here. Perhaps they would shoot you there?!!!
