People who decide the quiet zone on the train is a good place to sit with their kids,
and groups of teenagers who plonk themselves down in it and then shout bollocks at each other.

It's a quiet zone. Kids and groups of teenagers aren't quiet. Fuck off to another carriage you noisy titting shittards.

I had no idea there were 'quiet zones' on trains
But to be honest people have no consideration for other people with the behaviour of their children; letting them flip out like lunatics seems to be perfectly acceptable where ever they in life.

To be fair to parents:
You cannot, at any given moment, stop a child from making a noise or otherwise acting up.
Of course, decent parents don't tend to select the quiet cariage and tend to otherwise plan around the peculiarities of their offspring.

Indeed, and on a bus or plane I sit and stoically except the fact that today is not the day I get to concentrate on my book,
but some trains have kindly set aside a place for me to do exactly that, except there's always some twunt with a kid banging the drop down table and screaming.

I genuinely don't think many, many people are fit to be parents in life

I tend to agree some ought not to be parents.
Of course it is everyone's right to have children but it is also everyobe's right to think you're a shit parent and complain to you when your uncontrolled sprogs piss everyone off.
Parents should also not take their children anywhere unsuitable, such as quiet carriages, if they know their kids are "going through a phase".

Why is it a right? I'd say it'a a privilege that should only be granted under certain conditions to people who pass certain socioeconomic criteria which deem them fit for parenthood. people on benefits popping one out after the other and getting rewarded with bigger and bigger houses at our expense should have no such fundamental right to keep doing so. Why its it your right to impinge on my life with your shitty stabby 15 year old chav wannabe gangsta dickhead children?

This is the bane of my LIFE!
During final year of uni there were several train journeys with a reserved seat in the quiet coach trying to desperately get some work done with a pile of stolen library books...only for a screaming baby to turn up! And the excuse so often from people with kids is that 'a screaming baby wouldn't be popular anywhere so they can't please anyone.' Fair point but why choose the quiet coach where people might be sitting with books and laptops or trying to sleep?! Where your screaming child is the only noise and therefore the most irritating thing in the world at that moment!

Also drunks on the quiet coach. Last night on the late train from the southampton to newcastle (a really long fricking journey) with a bunch of wankers drinking, shouting, eating a homemade feast and, most annoyingly, repeatedly shouting 'SSSSSHHHHH!!! WE'RE IN THE QUIET COACH!' at one another. Although it was fun to watch the guy sat in front of me with a spreadsheet on his laptop get an increasingly crazed expression.
