People playing loud music or videos on buses without headphones could face a fine of up to £100 in England.

It's part of new guidance from the government to tackle antisocial behaviour including vaping and littering on public transport.

A national campaign asking people using trains to "share the carriage, not the noise" is also being launched.

While many people welcome the move, some say it could be difficult to enforce.

People who are asked to stop loudcasting on trains and refuse can also face a fine of up to £1,000 or be removed from the train

People playing things on their phone out loud in public has become known as 'loudcasting'.

The government has issued guidance on how to tackle this and other antisocial behaviours to local authorities in England.

Officials say it won't be the bus driver's responsibility to enforce the rules. Instead, it should be tackled by transport safety officers or police officers.

The biggest concern from other political parties and campaigners is how these rules will be enforced without funding more transport safety officers.
