Think it is at the moment, courtesy of Covid. ETA https://www.scotrail.co.uk/about-scotrail/our-rules-travel/alcohol-ban Can't see them repealing that in a hurry tbh.

Unfortunately that’s not correct, the railways have a blanket ban on alcohol being openly carried or consumed at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbigal Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 England up to 1,146 cases per 100K and 3rd in world. 14 London boroughs over 2,000 If Boris holds out now he holds out forever.

Clown Job Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 1 minute ago, Todd_is_God said: Lift them for what? It's not illegal to drink alcohol on a train. You’re right it’s not illegal Having a look at the ScotRail website Clicky Our alcohol ban is in place 24 hours a day and means: No alcohol can be drunk at any station in Scotland or on board any ScotRail train at any time of day. You cannot carry visible alcohol – open or unopened. Alcohol can be carried in a bag where it cannot be seen. You will not be able to use our services if you are deemed unfit to do so. The ban is supported by the British Transport Police, who will assist railway staff to ensure the rules are adhered to. Railway Byelaw 4 (2) states that a passenger with intoxicating liquor can be prevented from entering, or be asked to leave, the railway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not know that. When you say "the railways" do you mean actual byelaws, or just Scotrail saying "nah" Edited December 27, 2021 by Todd_is_God 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dundeefc1783 Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Just because Scotrail have banned it doesn't mean the Polis can lift you for it. Removal from the service is about all they can do I would imagine 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These teams will be the ScotRail/Scotgov reaction to that and you can guarantee multiple parasites are creaming plenty of dough off it.

Removal from the service is about all they can do I would imagine I suspect that's about all that would have happened but the threat was enough for them to bin it. Two at each end of the carriage still when I got off. Seems pretty heavy handed especially since I have seen jo attempt at compliance on trains.To be fair this was a group of total wee wanks. I think I heard one of them singing they were from Bellsbank (Dslmellington) so a fair old trek on a bus once they get to Ayr. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
