The quiet carriages have diagrams explicitly banning listening to music on headphones, therefore they must be allowed everywhere else on the train.
Wait, what? You cannot listen to music on headphones in the quiet cars or you cannot listen to music loudly on headphones in the quiet cars?

Maybe technology is rolling backward, but even when I was a kid we possessed the ability to listen to music on headphones without others being able to hear the music unless they were ear-to-ear with you.

I have heard people on trams and trains listening to music on headphones at permanent-hearing-damage levels and it can be annoying. Doesn't that mean the problem is volume control not headphones?
