RiG Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) On 19/07/2022 at 12:52, RiG said: if they want to deliver a safe environment for people to travel by train they can start by using trains with more than 3 carriages between Inverness and the central belt. Especially during the summer periods when the trains are rammed with tourists. Case in point here. Standing room only on departure yet again on the 1050ish service from Inverness heading south. This has been a regular occurrence for years now and Scotrail do nothing about it. Still, at least no one is drinking though...

I’m getting a train this week for the first time in ages and quite fancy a couple. Was trying to be discreet and Just had terrible timing taking a sip of my can just as I accidentally locked eyes with the conductor. Tried to keep my head down but sure enough he came up, tapped me on the shoulder and said… ”caught ye!” Then walked off laughing 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are people who won’t have a drink because it’s not allowed though. I bet fewer people are having a drink on the train. There will also be cases where it is enforced. I’m sure the BTP put out a tweet showing confiscated alcohol a few days ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man was either on the train having a chug between Polmont and Falkirk High, or the train was passing as the man was chugging, presumably whilst standing by the side of the tracks, and people saw him.

Schrodinger's cat has nothing on this guy. Aye, definitely some ambiguity in the wording. My guess is that he was in the vicinity of the track polishing his helmet as the train passed. If not, and he ripped the heid aff it from Polmont to Falkirk High, then I can only admire and envy his staying power as that journey must take the best part of 5 minutes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be lucky, but it seems a w**k is more likely based on recent events on the Polmont line 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
