Ffs on a busy train to Cardiff. With dds age 8 and 11. Half way through our journeys a foul mouthed group of hens packing beers and shots, got on our carriage and are next to us. Complete with blow up doll. Are doing a sex quiz and downing shots. Brilliant
I have dd2 looking distressed. I want to stomp on the fucking blow up doll and shove their shot glasses up their arses. Sorry.
I have been on hen weekends, but I have always been able to reign in the obscenity until we were in the pub/ hotel/ nightclub. Not on a train surrounded by kids and non hen party folks. It is just rude.

That is awful. I was once on a train from Peterborough to Manchester which a number of skanky blokes decided to designate a party train by getting catastrophically drunk, shouting, swearing, singing and ultimately fighting. There was no escaping the carriage so the rest of us had to suffer and it got quite scary, although we were all very British about it.
It is astonishingly selfish & rude.

Oh, poor you. Yes, I'd find the train manager, explain, and ask to be moved. They might just bump you up to First, you never know.
I had something similar a couple of years ago on a train to Bristol. Group of hens. They seemed to find me and OH - we're a gay male couple - fair game and repellent in equal measure. We ignored and the mood turned. We ended up getting spat on. Luckily no kids with us at the time.
This is why I now drive everywhere. The few hundred pounds a year it costs to keep my Saab on the road is more than worth never experiencing anything like that again.

Ugh. Bless you.
I was on a bus the other day when two girls started arguing the toss and swearing their head off. Also had my 8yo sat next to me. Thankfully they got off shortly after but we were stuck too because the bus was busy!
Doing what ParadiseCity said is a good idea.

I was in the queue for a ride at Chessington a few years ago with then my then 8/9 yr old DSD and some kids behind us were swearing their heads off using the C word constantly.
In the end I blew and asked them to mind their language and the girl threatened to punch me

I'm on another current thread about behaviour on trains. I'm put off for life I think! That's completely inappropriate, OP. Is there anybody around, i.e. staff, you could ask to deal with them. It's not always a good idea to confront them yourself, though I'd be tempted.
Namechangetempissue · 28/07/2017 13:31
What a bunch of dickheads.
Definitely speak to the conductor. If you confront a group of lairy, pissed idiots who are stupid or ignorant enough to think this behaviour is ok then I highly doubt you will get a nice reply. Just not worth it in front of your children.

Pull the cord to summon the guard
Do not do that, it isn't a servant's bell.
It activates the train's automatic braking system and is for use in emergency situations only. An emergency stop on a 180 tonne train traveling at 125mph isn't much fun. Plus you'll be fined £80.
