Anyone know if you can take alcohol on East Coast trains? I'm sure you can, but just want to double check

    With all due respect, I must state my objection to scumbags that drink and get rowdy on trains and disturb my weekly journey to Leeds - whilst clearly sat in the quite coach.

    Not specifically aimed at OP btw.

    Thanks Jeff :)

    No offence take Brave... My friends, nor I, are scumbags.

    Of course you can, how else are you going to get your carry out home so that you can have drink with your evening meal.

    It should be illegal to not drink on trains. First rule of being English surely is to have at least one beer on a train, no matter how short the journey.

    Never been on a train yet you couldn't drink on, and never would! :)

    I think they banned alcohol on the Tube didn't they? (drinking it - obviously you can carry your stash home from the off license so long as you don't open it)

    Mainline trains - drink away! The train I commute to work on has a buffet car selling the stuff. :)

    You're only allowed Special Brew or cans of White Lightning on trains....

    Yes, unless it has been declared a dry train.
    Did you really mean to put loose?
    Lose: no longer possess, not to retain, unable to find
    Loose: not firmly or tightly fixed in place

    On my commuter train atleast half have a M&S chilled plastic wine glass or can of cold G&T and a glass. We're civilised here :D
    I am waiting for someone to bring out a tray of canapes to share.
