A Conversation for Talking on Trains

Overcoming the English - Silence - Syndrome

In my experience there is only one way to overcome the very British problem of speaking on trains (and this applies to buses, tubes etc) and it is this:

Travel in groups.

Seriously, for some unfathomable reason it seems we manage to lose our uncontrollable embarassment and act, socially, like the rest of the world. Only yesterday myself and 3 other travellers found at least one familly and 2 other complete strangers joining briefly into our discussions.

Are there any other exceptions to the silence rule that I don't know about?
