Children in a confined space especially modern day children with so many E numbers rammed into them are disruptive, mind you some of the parents and adult behavior leave a lot to be desired too!Just dun my regular trip to Kings Cross first class (LNER), and yet again the journey was spoilt by noisy children in the coach. Having spent in the region of £200 for a ticket I feel I may as well travel standard class. I love children when they grilled.
People on telephones, telling people they are on the train. oh oh

How often are quiet coaches actually quiet?

I had something similar last night when watching a show at Butlins, bare foot without a top. He's a VFC (Very Feral Child.)
I prefer them with ketchup and crispy onions but each to their own.

Sadly they only call them Quieter Coaches now.
Yes, they're quieter than Krakatoa erupting, so technically true, I suppose.
I had the mobile playing video without headphones the last time I was I sat there. I shouldn't have to, but it was easier to just move.

There's no First Class quiet coach on LNER anyway. Only Std.

I did miss the first bit, but the rest remains the case.

It's absolutely nightmarish these days on quiet coaches. Living at Shakey Wakey I hop on and off LNER quite a lot even outside of trips to London, I'm not sure if 'quiet' is just not in bold enough writing on labels, or if people just don't give a toss these days, but they're often about on par with noise levels on any of the other carriages, first class is generally pretty quiet at least, in my experiences, so maybe you got unlucky there. I was in one once where someone had taken a baby into first class, thankfully they remained miraculously asleep for the entire 2hrs.Just dun my regular trip to Kings Cross first class (LNER), and yet again the journey was spoilt by noisy children in the coach.

One comment I will make is that I’ve noticed young (poorly behaved) children making much more noise in LNER first class than I have in Avanti first class or even standard premium.
Perhaps a suggestion that the East Coast isn’t as well behaved as the West coast?
I do think certainly first class should be quiet by default, with perhaps one “family coach” for those who wish to travel with young children (coach K works for both mainlines for this!) - but this is entering the realms of speculative discussion.
By default, I choose coach A when travelling on my regular Carlisle - Glasgow return commute and generally the quiet coach is very well observed (apart from a few who are either unaware of the rules or simply ignorant to them).

I believe when a train is fully reserved in Standard outside of Quiet Coach, then Coach A is given as a reservation to people. Though I agree that if you are in the quiet coach you should still be observant and considerate of the rules and try not to make too much unneccessary noise. Even if you were put in there by mistake.
