Train abuse

1st name of John has been removed imo

A lawyer at a top legal firm has been accused of subjecting a train passenger to a 90 minute 'torrent of abuse' after the other man asked him to turn down the volume on his phone.

Thomas Longstaff, 29, who is an associate at Linklaters in the City of London, was linked to an appeal by the British Transport Police.

They claim a man - alleged to be Mr Longstaff - became aggressive while travelling on a train from London King's Cross to Leeds on December 9.
It is believed a fellow passenger asked him to turn down the volume on his smartphone while he was playing games.

After 2 minutes I would have smashed the guys face in.

And I am mild-mannered

You need to book the Quite Carriage Leop ,you will end up in trouble

A torrent of abuse for two minutes would do it for me

The game noises I could put up with for a lot longer

I do not go on trains much.

leopard gets around mostly by helicopter

They could have said it "made him feel threatened" ffs, "uncomfortable" makes him sound like a Guardian reader.

Had a look and they have now changed it :

Police added that the man 'started verbally abusing the victim' which made him feel 'uncomfortable' and 'threatened'.

Ive decome an outspoken train vigilante,bags on emoty seats with people beside looking busy on some devise,im in that seat,hello move that big please citixen have you failed to realise its a packed train and some citizens are standing up and have paid same money as you.
Also not slow to confront any loud/ antisocial behaviour ...

Increases your chances of being stabbed, I would be careful, it's not worth the bother, just listen to some music with earphones to blot it out.

A well aimed cup of Buffet car Earl Grey usually suffices. However, the screams aren't very pleasant and louder than most games.

Trident may be a cheaper option.
