A train company has embarked on a major campaign to promote consideration between fellow passengers whilst travelling on its trains, and using its stations.
Following many complaints and comments from passengers regarding anti-social behaviour by a minority of fellow passengers, Southern, which runs services between Hastings, Bexhill and London Victoria, has launched a major poster campaign which is desi
gned to make people think before they behave in ways that are not acceptable to their fellow passengers.
A series of posters, leaflets and timetable inserts get the messages across by using symbols that depict the kind of behaviour that causes annoyance.
Subjects covered by the campaign include loud music from mp3 players, talking loudly into mobile phones, consideration when eating hot food, thoughtful disposal of litter, feet on seats, using foul language and unruly behaviour.
Tracey Hawley-Wright, Southern's service quality manager, said: "Anti-social behaviour of this type on trains and at stations is a constant annoyance to passengers who just want to enjoy their journey in peace.
"We are hoping that this campaign will make people think more about the effects their actions have on fellow passengers, and change them accordingly."
Posters can be seen at Southern stations and soon on board Southern trains.
