An interesting issue, as it annoys a lot of people yet they don't know where they stand with regard to raising it with staff.
I've endured everything from schoolgirls playing a radio out loud on their table, to a bunch of women blasting and singing along to a Robbie Williams album non-stop for two hours from Belfast to Dublin on a packed Christmas 07.00-09.00 Enterprise. That was a particularly surreal experience, as in spite of there being nearly one hundred sleepy people packed into the carriage being blasted out of it with tinny musak, not a single person risked raising the matter. It was also notable that the train manager who does at least two rounds of the train on that service, didn't appear even once.
Certain standing people singing along (rather disconcertingly including young male passengers), just may have given an alternative impression of patrons' mood - but the glowering majority quietly gnashing their teeth most certainly would have told otherwise.
