A Cambridge Park Commuter uses Work Safety earplugs, to benefit himself with quiet reading whilst travelling on his train journey to and from the City. Nick as he is known has been doing this recently and has been travelling since the early 1970's.
In this time he has noticed quite considerably an increase in commuter noise. Beginning from the early days when he could hear ladies continually knit to the clear sound of turning pages on large news papers and books. where commuters are being self-educated with the days events,worldly events, fascination or fakes stories. Finally the old noise the younger generation wouldn't know of 'Red Rattler' (See versions of this train below). Also I remember the window covers that half the time would not stay up and keep on sliding down - what memories!
Now you hear the blasting music of Ipods and/or mobile phones 'chit-chatting' of language unheard of,in his young days. This is where he claims some people have no respect in speaking foul language that is awful, bad & should not be tolerated in public places. He thinks the New South Wales Government should do something about this as much as I do as well as it is most embarrassing to other that do not want to hear it!
What is also amazing is that whilst wearing the Work Safety earplugs he hardly misses his train station at either end of his journey! Well Done!
