Can you use a mobile phone for listening to music on trains?

Question

Well its been years since I have been on a train way before mobiles were here, so Im just wondering, is it ok to use my mobile to listen to music with headphones on of course on a train? I know you cant on planes but I dont like planes anyway so that wont be a problem.

Answer 1

In the UK (your question is on the UK site), you can listen to your music using your headphones on trains.

However, please be considerate to other passengers, keep the volume low enough that sound does not leak out.  Also, certain carriages are designated "quiet coaches", identifiable by stickers on the windows.  Mobile phones are prohibited in these areas.

Answer 2

No

Answer 3

There are no restrictions, provided you play the music through headphones, and you don't listen to it in the "quiet coach" either.

If you don';t comply to the conditions, you may be ejected from the train.

Answer 4

yeah you can pretty much do what you like as long as your not loud. ive done that. and even watched a dvd on a train

Answer 5

Yes as long as it is kept quiet and it isn't audible to other passengers so it doesn't disturb them

It doesn't interfere with the running of the train and its systems.

Answer 6

Yes you can, But only in the non 'Quiet' coaches, marked with labels on the windows.

you can use your phone on a plane between take-off/landing as long as you turn it to 'flight mode''

Answer 7

yes-if it has an mp3  player

Answer 8

I can't because it is prohibited for railroad employees

but as a passenger you certainly can, using headphones of course, loud external speakers would be a good way to meet the ballast face first.

enjoy your ride

Answer 9

Yea of course you can u just can't on planes,(I don't like flying either) but u shold be allowed to just sit the with headphones in ur ears listening to music.

Hope this helps

Answer 10

thank goodness,at last,someone who has respect for other people.

Answer 11

I would imagine. Doesn't the phone have a non-broadcast mode, for on planes?

Answer 12

Yes you can.

Make sure you have the volume turned really low.  Any noise that seeps out of your headphones will seriously upset any other passengers, and will get you thrown off the train at the nearest station/stop.

Answer 13

Yes,  On a train is ok.

On a plane the concern is your electronic equipment may interfere with the electronics of the plane.

I imagine the logic is along the lines of.  During take off and landing every split second counts.  Even the smallest of interference could cause a disaster.

Answer 14

Yes

Answer 15

sure but just make sure you're not sitting within 10 feet of me.

Answer 16

You should be able to, mine worked pretty good. maybe since a plane is so high up it wouldnt work.

Answer 17

Yeah its an MP3 and radio player.  but with headphones

Answer 18

yes you can and on the plane but not during take off or landing

Answer 19

If in the UK yes...you can use your phone for calls, music games and the net, whatever you want.  

Answer 20

Yes you may, however keep the noise personal, dont annoy anyone else with the incesent tinny sounds that people seem to subject others too when the music is too loud.
