Men who sit with their legs wide open so that if you are lucky to get a seat you are squashed or unlucky as they wont close their legs and let you sit down anyway.
Standing up with my nose in someones sweaty arm pit!
Tin Tin music from others.
Chewing gum on seats.
Heating on full blast on the hottest day of the year.
And the silent farts.
And that was just my journey home tonight!!!

Mobiles on Speaker
Headphones only annoy within a limited range - a speaker phone can be heard through the carridge
(Train companies not spending any money on the upkeep of carriages and not bothering to add carriages to trains at rush hour so we all end up roasting, standing crushed up against each other for however long it takes to get home) - That isn't all the fault of the rail companies. The DfT accountants in Whitehall have to sign off all train company expenditure and recently has been refusing to allow improvements (eg: blocking Virgin from lengthening Voyagers, The new TransPennine Trains are 3 coaches instead of the requested 4 - and 5 trains less then needed, South West Trains growth order being cut back from 30 5 coach trains to 17 four coach trains etc)

Well, considering I live in Sydney, Australia - having an unairconditioned train turn up in summer in temperatures exceeding 40 degrees celcius. That and also the fact that Sydney doesn't have an extensive tram network or underground metros, just trains that, at their most frequent are always about 5-10 minutes apart instead of arriving every 90 seconds.

Oh man, all the relevant answers are taken. Soo... Nartfarking night zombies who smell rancid enough to peel the paint off a Benz. And those ape hanging sprint leapers who must "HAVE THE SEAT OR DIEEE!!" man i can't stand those pushy types. In general the trains are too crowded for any form of comfort. Not enough room irritates me more than anything else. The smells that one gets assaulted are noticeable because we ride in sardine cans!!!! NOT ENOUGH ROOM!!!

Number one, when people get onto train playing their music out on loudspeaker for everyone on the carriage to hear - and it's not even decent music it's loud thumping "ching ching" music.
Moody train staff selling tickets, making sarcy comments and generally finding it way too much effort to answer any questions or look into anything.
Competitions on platforms to line yourself up properly to get on the trains first, and then when they don't line up with people they barge themselves in front to get to a seat first!
Biggest moan, my rail operator have recently dumped perfectly decent trains for brand new trains, are they a step up? No. Less seats, hot, tiny windows, no air.... No grab rails in the big open standing areas, leg cramp if you perch on the perch seats. Generally a dreadfull experience.

Lots of things.
When you go into the station in the morning you can smell the pee from some drunk who has relieved himself in the area.
People who will not stop whistling, especially whistling Elvis, that really grates me!!!!!!!!
When someone gets on next toyou and starts letting off silent but violent farts, that is sick. Although I must say, it can be funny if you are the guilty party, so that one is a 2 way street.
Ticket collectors who ask to see your ticket every 10 minutes, even although the same person looked at it the last time.

Pretty much the stupid people on the train who make it hard for everyone else to get around. The ones who walk slow with 10 million bags, and make lots of noise and a big mess, etc etc.

When people get onto the train and talk loudly into the phone as if whomever they are speaking to is deaf. Also, when the other passangers stare other passangers up and down.
