Should public transport 'headphone dodgers' be fined?

The Liberal Democrats are calling for fines of up to £1,000 for "headphone dodgers" who play loud music and videos on public transport.

Current railway by-laws already ban many forms of anti-social behaviour on trains and at stations, including using equipment to produce sound without permission if this annoys others.

But the Lib Dems want to change the law to explicitly ban playing music and videos out loud from a phone on trains and buses in England.

ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio London's Kath Melandri has been speaking to the Lib Dem MP for Sutton and Cheam, Luke Taylor about the proposal.
