Man next to me is eating an apple and crunching really noisily with his mouth open.

Gave up expecting a basic standard of human decency in the quiet carriage and just got some decent noise cancelling headphones instead.

Could slice with a knife though and place the segments further back where the molars can mush them in peace

Genuinely amazed that quiet train coaches still exist. I mean they’ve never worked and surely these days you’re completely pissing in the wind?

Yeah, eating an apple, basically fine. Eating with your mouth open, no, not even if it’s marshmallows or a soft roll or something.

I always book my seats in them for ND reasons. To be honest they’re normally quite well adhered to, but every now and then you get loud chatters.

Usually a stickler for Quiet Coach etiquette but I don’t see a way around this tbh.

LNER ones are now Quieter Coaches, the absolute cowards.

This is my main bugbear tbh and why I always book into the Quieter Coach. Just the endless “yeah… uh huh… yeah… uh huh… hello? Are you there? Hello? Hello?”. Drives me spare.
