After a passenger allegedly reprimanded others for chatting too loudly, two women engage in a whispered argument in a quiet train carriage.
Tuesday, Callum Beeley and his sister Cara were traveling from London Paddington to Penzance to visit their mother when an altercation erupted over their speaking in the quiet area.
The 29-year-old began recording when a woman allegedly began ranting from the opposite side of the train car and reprimanding other passengers for speaking too loudly.
The video depicts an unnamed woman approaching Cara after allegedly yelling “Do you not know what quiet means?” at another rider who was conversing with a pal.
Callum states that his sister had just defended the man, who is out of view, by asking the unnamed woman, “Who do you think you are?”
Tuesday, while traveling from London Paddington to Penzance to visit their mother, Callum Beeley and his sister Cara (pictured) argued about conversing in the quiet part.
The video begins with Cara yelling, “Get out of my face!”
In quiet tones, the woman responds, “Don’t try me, girl.”
Cara says, “Don’t you f***ing try me, get out of my face, I have no idea who you are”
The woman then states, “I am who I am, and this is a quiet train.” Babies aside.’
You do not pay more for your ‘silent carriage,’ Cara responds.
The woman responds abruptly, “Silence!” You are not permitted.’
Cara chuckles in disbelief and asks, “Are you telling me to be quiet?” Who is this scumbag?
The woman begins to walk away, but then comes around and sees that Callum is recording her. Enraged, she returns to the couple and attempts to rip the phone from Callum’s hand while exclaiming, “Really?”
Cara suddenly interjects to defend her brother, stating, “Yes, indeed.” I don’t believe so.
The woman conceals her face and states, “Excuse me, but you do not have permission to record me.”
Then, Cara responds, “Yes, you may record in public places.”
The video concludes with Callum agreeing with his sister by saying “Yes, you can”
The 29-year-old started recording after a woman allegedly began yelling from the opposite side of the train car and reprimanding other passengers for speaking too loudly.
Today, breakfast chef Callum stated, ‘I began shooting because I was apprehensive that something may occur because I could sense tension in the air.
‘I suppose having evidence also serves as protection, but fortunately it didn’t go that far. I believe I felt mostly anxious. I dislike conflict, and that is the last thing I would anticipate on a train.
“This lady, I believe, took the silent carriage rules a bit too seriously, as I had always believed that talk was permitted; she began by shouting, “Do you not know what quiet means?”
The man seated next to us disregarded her and continued to converse with another person, so she stood up and urged him to stop talking and move if he wishes to continue.
“The man did not really respond to her, but my sister did, prompting the woman to approach us.”
She also complained to the train’s conductor that she had been abused, but nothing was done. After around thirty minutes, she transferred to the next carriage.
The man’s discussion was audible, but not extremely loud. There is a distinction between the silent carriage and a library, where absolute silence is not permitted.
The loudspeaker announcing the stations remains audible.
A spokeswoman for Great Western Railway stated today, ‘We request that customers in quiet trains refrain from making phone calls or playing loud music through headphones.
‘Of course, travellers can occasionally find themselves in the silent carriage without catching the announcements or signage; we find that a quiet, polite remark settles most issues.
In the event that this is not the case, we recommend passengers to communicate with a member of staff in order to rectify the issue.
