Oh, I did not know that existed - have not been on a train for a long time.

It will be interesting to see if the airlines follow suit - maybe going to depend on how many complaints they get.

Maybe, with any luck, they will restrict it to first class ......... some hope !

Well, it's a good idea, but might demand more space that would be available on a plane unless they restrict it to the last 4 rows in the bumpy end !

'Quiet zones' are pretty standard on all trains here, though unfortunately very few people seem to respect them... Rolling Eyes

Well, not being a train traveller, I'm not up on all that, but it definitely sounds a good idea.  However, getting people to conform is a different matter !

Isn't that just on the Virgin trains?  They've always been quiet when I've been on one.  I took loads of trains last year :P

I know Chiltern have them, and we have them on the local trains here too... when I used to use trains regularly the quiet zones were rarely any better than the rest... lol

Vancouver man cracks Facebook to access private photos
Glitch fixed after computer technician found Paris Hilton images
A security breach on Facebook allowed a Vancouver computer technician to find photos of a partying Paris Hilton and ones of her younger brother in private online albums intended to be accessible only to their friends.

And while the networking giant says it has closed the breach that allowed outsiders to view the Hilton photos and other private albums, the photos remain available for viewing to anyone who knows the precise URL (uniform resource locator) linking to them on the Web.

Byron Ng, who last July cracked the security behind the then-unreleased novel Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, discovered the security hole when he was checking out an earlier breach that had been fixed by Facebook.

It couldn't of happened to a worse person purely because there's nothing more for us to see of Paris - we've seen the sex tapes, how else can we look further into her private life?

When I read and posted that article, it wasn't Paris Hilton I had on my mind - it was the fact that Facebook had been hacked into successfully, in more than one area.

What is more interesting is the CEO of Facebook was one of the users who got hacked.
