>
This is the moment when two women in a silent train car fight quietly, after a passenger allegedly scolded other people for talking too loud.
Callum Beeley was traveling from London Paddington to Penzance with his sister Cara to visit their mother on Tuesday when an argument started over people talking in the quiet section.
The 29-year-old began recording after a woman allegedly started yelling from the other side of the train car and scolded other passengers for talking too loud.
The video shows an unidentified woman approaching Cara after reportedly yelling, “Don’t you know what silence means?” to another traveler who was talking to her friend.
Callum says that his sister had just defended the man, who is out of range, saying, “Who do you think you are?” to the nameless woman.

The video begins with Cara saying, “Get out of my sight, honestly, out of my sight.”
The woman replies quietly, saying, ‘Don’t test me, girl.’
Cara replies, ‘Don’t test me. Get out of my face. I don’t know who you think you are.
The woman then says: ‘I know who I am, this is a quiet carriage. Other than babies.
‘So what?’ Cara replies. ‘You pay no more for your ‘silent carriage’.’
The woman snaps back, ‘Shut up. You are not allowed.’
Cara laughs in disbelief and says, ‘Are you telling me to shut up? Who is this c***?
The woman starts to walk away, but then turns to see Callum recording her, so she turns to the couple and tries to grab the phone out of Callum’s hand, saying, ‘Really?’
Cara then steps in to defend her brother, saying, ‘Yeah, really. I do not think.’
The woman covers her face and says: ‘Excuse me, you have no right to record me.’
Cara then replies, “Yes, you can record in public places.”
Just before the video ends, Callum can be heard agreeing with his sister, saying, “Yes, you can.”

Speaking today, Chef Callum said: ‘I started filming because I was feeling a bit anxious for something to happen as I could feel tension in the air.
‘I suppose it also serves as proof protection, but luckily it didn’t go that far. I think mainly I felt a little nervous. I really don’t like confrontation, it’s the last thing I would expect on a train.
I think this lady took the rules of quiet transportation too seriously because I always thought conversation was allowed. She started with the lady yelling, “Don’t you know what silence means?”
“The man sitting near us ignored her and kept talking to someone, then she got up from her seat and told him to stop talking and to move if he wanted to talk while pointing to his face.
“The man didn’t really say anything back to her, but my sister did, and that’s when the lady came up to us.
She also complained to the train manager, saying that she had been assaulted, but nothing happened. After about half an hour, she moved to the next car.
‘We could hear the man’s conversation, but it wasn’t too loud. There is a difference between the silent car and a library, you cannot have total silence.
‘The speaker that announces the stations is still loud.’
A Great Western Railway spokesman said today: ‘We ask customers in quiet carriages to keep the noise down and not make phone calls or play loud music through their headphones.
“Of course, sometimes passengers can find themselves in the silent car without noticing the announcements or signs; we find that a calm and courteous word usually solves any problem.
“There may be times when this is not the case, and we encourage passengers to speak to a member of staff to help resolve the situation.”
