As a nation, we have rejected the idea of the 'quiet carriage', whatever that is.

    @FGW are crinkle cut crisps allowed in the quiet carriage? They are very loud.

    @rahulaintnotwit Hi Rahul. Nothing wrong with eating in the quiet carriage. We do ask that people keep noise to a minimum though. -Ollie

    I just told off a Vietnamese lady for talking loudly on the phone in the quiet carriage. Everyone applauded me. #citizenoftheyear

    My ringtone -- a succession of clips of Arthur telling Merlin to shut up -- has just gone off in a quiet train carriage. Slightly awkward.

    Does being in the quiet carriage mean no dancing?

    What asshole parents sit on the quiet carriage with their kid and play eye spy. The answer is untweetable.

    Headache. The family in this 'quiet carriage' - earth mother, passive father, three raucous children with loud ringtones - aren't helping.

    Looks like I'm sharing a quiet carriage with that one person who feels the need to spend the entire train ride choosing a new ringtone.

    My phone has a sense of humour; it's rung 11 times in the half hour I have been in the quiet carriage!

    Man answers mobile, “Sorry mate can’t talk for long, I’m in the Quiet Carriage.” Hmm, not sure that’s quite how it works.

    Bunch of guys on the train seeing how loud they can be in the quiet carriage. At least they are trying it barber shop quartet style...

    I love my singing birthday balloon but when it went off on the train home, on my own, in a quiet carriage, it was sliiiightly awkward.
