As there was a child involved I would have called the police in any

choose that course of action?

Is carrying a mobile 'phone compulsory?

No, but most people carry them, and the OP said that he told the
troublemakers that he would phone the police if trouble continued.

"Emergency Alarm - Only for use if you do not have a mobile 'phone" Hmm

What's the point in providing emergency alarms, if the alarm is not
answered?

It was answered, by two railway staff. Why would having the driver
involved have improved the situation?

Answered? Maybe, but not in anything like a satisfactory way.

I'm not trying to have it both ways. As I made clear in my original
post, I feel that the police should have been called, particularly as a
child was involved. What do you think should have been done
differently?

I've been on trains where rail staff have been in direct contact with
BTP, and arranged for the doors to be held so that the purpetrators
could not escape. It worked, and if that is done more often then people
would NOT cause trouble on trains as they'd know they are not going to
get away with it.

But on First it's profits first, passengers second, generally.

Anyway, I agree with some other points you make, and yes it sounds like
999 should have been called.
