Alcohol on East Coast trains?

Buy can of soft drink, pour contents down the loo, fill can with your chosen alcoholic drink, job done.

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.

Yup, not allowed open alcohol on the Tube!

Most National Rail services allow alcohol, although as has been said, some are designated as 'dry' trains. Having said that, 'dry' trains aren't supported by the National Rail Byelaws as such, therefore, the only thing you'll potentially be prosecuted for if you break this rule, is failing to comply with a reasonable request, which is covered by the Byelaws. Obviously if you're disorderly, incapable or a general knobhead with it, that's another matter.
