Bottle of vodka before you get on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 It doesn't seem to apply to Saturdays. I've been on the LNER from Dundee to Inverkeithing for Pars games a few times and they were selling alcohol on it. This was in the morning too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 It's been the case for as long as I remember that the LNER stag and henny express on a Friday morning is dry as far as Newcastle. Don't expect a Scotrail no fucks given approach. They do patrol the carriages with guys specifically to spot folk drinking with frequent announcements of the dire consequences of being caught. Treat it like drinking at work. Put it in coffee or a coke bottle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Was speaking to a guy from Scottish Water today who was - at first - pleasant enough. I made the mistake of carrying the conversation on further than needs be and then couldn't get away from his "woke, liberal leftie" tirade. I stopped him in his tracks to take a call and as soon as I hung up he started off again right where he left off. Me : I honestly thought people only behaved like that online. It's a scary world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 (edited) The fact that there are multiple versions of this card that can only refer to one person. Either the card company is happy with some poor woman being blatantly lied to, or they're happy enough to profiteer from the best mum getting the same card twice.

I've been on the next platform at Aberdeen shortly before that train leaves, they have security staff stopping folk and putting any drink away in a secure area, presumably to be returned at the other end, though not sure what happens at stations en route. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
