      Tod is my favourite Strauss piece, followed closely by the Alpensinfonie. It's all magic music though! I may have to play some myself later!

      You could always ask for a complaint form... many of the TOCs offer vouchers to complaints that are upheld - worth a try perhaps?

  11. loud music on the train? No problem - I have ear phones of my own. Fellow commuters picking their nose? Look out the window. Fellow commuter with bad breath, gassing everyone when he yawns? 45 minutes of torture!
