Meanwhile in coach A......
You have to be off your face to listen to that garbage, so a pee test might be in order...
Disclaimer: the above is posted in jest, and should not be taken as an allegation of actual illegal activity.
Are you asking if rave music specifically is permitted or music generally? Seems to be the former but perhaps you just have a problem with rave music and felt the need to be ever so specific.
Look forward to clarification!
PLUR
It was coming from his cab, only when he went inside too.How do you know it was the guard and not someone passing?
Can I just ask the OP that they know for definite that it was the guard who was playing music over the train's PA system? As other have already stated it's highly unprofessional and any guard (or other member of staff) found to be doing it would have a lot to answer for.
No it
Anyone who is a regular on TfW services on the Cardiff - Crewe - Manchester corridor will be familiar with a Guard who sings on the PA for several minutes....I’ve never heard music or singing from guards’ cabs before....
I hold my hands up, I talk to myself and sing regularly when I'm in the cab, checking tickets or operating the doors I often stop with a bump and think "oh shoot, is someone the other side of the door listening in?"! I do it when I'm driving as well and to be fair, I've got a perfect record both at work and at the wheel so it's probably helpful!
NEXT!The other issue is that the TOC is probably liable to have a PRS license if punters can hear the music.
That surely depends on the music? I don't think all music is subject to PRS after all!The other issue is that the TOC is probably liable to have a PRS license if punters can hear the music.
The honourable gentleman for Redcar does make a good point however it can be easy to forget how thin the cab walls can be.
Very unprofessional IMHO. Surely the guard should be doing revenue checks/customer service duties throughout the train?
That's because you always sit right at the front away from the cab. Sometimes I forget there are other people on the train....yes very true! I've overheard plenty of AWS pings and other more interesting noises over the years. No music or singing as yet though!
Methinks some people ought to get out more.
As a massive dance music lover and seeing how upset a little music other than radio 4 annoys so many of you, I wish the guard had played it over the tannoy with the Crewe - Derby , EMT guard rapping over the top.
I would enjoy a rail journey for a change in this country.

As someone with a medical condition (tinnitus) where intrusive noise can be very uncomfortable and sometimes even painful; I'm really glad I haven't experienced this on a train.
I don't think any rules will have been broken merely by playing music. OBVIOUSLY it would be better if the music was not heard in the saloon.
Agreed - this really is a non issue.
Goodness me. I doubt this music was played at such a volume as to be damaging. I doubt it was being blasted out at Ministry of Sound volumes.
