Alternatively just have a ride on one of Branson's trains. You'll
get the same without shelling out £200...

Unfortunately, selfish ******s seem to travel on Virgin trains as much
as any other operator. Worse, they seem to think that the Quiet Zone
is so that they have less background noise to interfere with their
loud mobile phone calls and hip hop at full blast on their iPod.

If you're having a poke at the Pendolino, I've not noticed any
meaningful attenuation of mobile signals on those trains. Where I find
no signal inside the train, it's in a place where the signal outside
the train is either too poor to use or nonexistent.
