Had a load of American Mormons on Preston once. They were warned by platform staff that if they didn't stop bothering passengers they would be removed from railway premises.

There is one bloke I've seen regularly who gets himself some more space on a crowded 455 out of Waterloo in the evening peak by taking his folded bike ( which is allowed ) through the barriers and then unfolding it ( which is not allowed! ) once he is on the train...!!

Which makes me wonder if playing the Ring Cycle from beginning to end on a very long journey might have some effect.

Even on the UK's longest scheduled service, Aberdeen - Penzance, you'd likely still be listening to the final act of Götterdämmerung on arrival at PNZ.

Far too elaborate. Try a small piece of Stinking Bishop cheese - you will empty the entire carriage in no time. Any cheese with its rind washed in alcohol is unpleasantly pungent, but Stinking Bishop is in a class of its own.

You won't get rid of me that way, I can assure you. Stinking Bishop has to be one of my favourite cheeses of all time.

Wear a false beard, combat jacket, a backpack and some kind of arab headdress, you will probably end up with the whole carriage to your self
