It's not going to - but with lithium battery fires going on...
If the railway banned mobile phones and laptops, would it be near enough empty?
While I know there are disproportionately many anti-tech people on here, if you banned mobile phones and laptops from trains, nobody would use trains.
It's the same reason why they aren't banned from planes despite posing a nonzero risk (far more of a risk than the chance of anyone putting anything dodgy in a bottle of Coke).

In addition to the points made about phone and laptop batteries generally conforming to set standards , they are also much smaller so can be slipped in pockets and bags/luggage . What do you propose searching everyones bags etc ?
