“It was introduced in November 2020 to limit the spread of Covid.”
How many lives do we reckon this saved?
Alcahol should just be banned on all trains, there is nothing worse than being onna train full of drunks after a long day when you just want to get home.
i hope the keep the rule in place forever
You should see the Barrow to Manchester Airport train some mornings. It’s literally like a pub on rails.
The Scottish yet again proving they’re nuts.
Good for them. It’s a sorry state of affairs if families or normal people can’t make a train journey without been disturbed by drunken idiots.
There’s a reasonable discussion to be had over if alcohol should be allowed on trains or not. I’d personally argue that it should, it should come with a stricter enforcement of anti-social behaviour rules.
That being said, it is ridiculous that ScotRail are using a Covid-era restriction to keep it banned rather than reverting to the pre-Covid status quo ante and making a clear, non-Covid, justification for their desired ban
Shame, I enjoy a beer on a train or plane but I can understand why people are against it. Same reason why its undesirable to have drunk people on buses or planes.

Can’t say I’m really bothered. Catching a train full of people getting pissed isn’t an enjoyable experience. Longer the train trip the more pissed they get and the entire carriage ends up stinking because pissed people tend to spill their drinks. Always loud as fuck too.
Remembering all the stupid rules is healthy, it shows us that it wasn’t all about “following the science”, and it wasn’t. I’m wondering how long it will take before we get the full and unvarnished story of the vaccines. Pfizer was forced to cough up its trial data and it doesn’t look good, there are also some strong indications of a priming issue where being vaccinated with Alpha strain spike and then getting infected with Omicron causes the immune system to react as if it’s Alpha, which would be just one way that variants can escape immunity (waning immunity is partly due to viral evolution).

They can take my alcohol from my warm blue veins.
