Off track
More advice on how to come to terms with the annoying habits of mobile phone users on trains.
Greg Evans, at Velindre NHS Trust in Cardiff, has the sort of helpful idea that car drivers tend to offer in these situations.
‘Not being a regular train traveller myself, I’m probably not best placed to offer advice, but surely the best solution for avoiding noisy, irritating people on trains is to travel in one of the empty carriages?’ he says – still charmingly under the impression that empty carriages still exist after 6am and before 11pm.
After a train ride this morning I'm pretty baffled.
Today I took the 8:28 from Guildford to Frimley and was seated in the 'quiet' carriage (no mobiles).
I was the only person in the carriage which begs the question: if I wished to use my mobile should I use it and break the rules or go to the next carriage (with 1 person in but not designated 'quiet') and annoy him?

Never pass up the opportunity to annoy somebody.
