I always travel in the Quiet coach on GNER trains (in the UK) Another  
advantage is that they are the furthest from the start of the  
platform in King's Cross station in London, so if you walk right  
along the platform to coach B you pass many busy and fairly crowded  
coaches filled with people who can't be bothered to walk further, and  
end up in a quiet coach that is usually also much less crowded than  
most of the train. (Keep that a secret, won't you? :-) )

"Many passengers want a quiet, peaceful place to help them make the  
most of their journey, whether relaxing or working. So we've  
designated a special Quiet Coach on board all GNER trains.
The Quiet Coach is located in Coach B, as this carriage is at the end  
of the train and therefore benefits from the least through-traffic,  
providing minimal disturbance during your journey.
If you are sitting in the Quiet Coach, we ask that you respect your  
fellow passengers by adhering to the following rules:
No mobile phone calls in this carriage. Go to the vestibule at the  
end of the carriage to talk on the phone.
Use all electrical equipment in silent mode.
If you wish to chat to fellow passengers, please do so quietly and  
with consideration for others. "
