Such a ban just has been lifted in Poland, after over 20 years. The situation was bit comic - one could have a pint in international trains, but not the domestic ones. Even now beer is available only in pricey InterCity trains, at the laughable price (5 times more than in a bar near railway station!).zgodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02935537190746835397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114284681482585458.post-59837365090707633492012-02-08T13:41:39.091+00:002012-02-08T13:41:39.091+00:00Problem is not the hill walkers having a dram - bu...Problem is not the hill walkers having a dram - but the loud obnoxious stag/hen parties, riggers out of Aberdeen sitting demolishing boxes of tennents or just your random idiots who think its acceptable to attack fellow passengers fuelled by the drink they have been knocking back at their table. I spent a summer as a student working on catering trolley on Scotrail trains and saw all of that on a daily basis. The "dry" trains on football days were a pleasure to work on and I'm sure most passengers would have agreed.<br /><br />Yes of course there were plenty of people able to enjoy some wine or beer without being idiots but like everything in Scotland related to drinking it is spoilt by a very loud, badly behaved minority.speybrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04021845211487741294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114284681482585458.post-60377757678845052362012-01-25T12:44:50.413+00:002012-01-25T12:44:50.413+00:00Reactions by MPS are so predictable in these cases...Reactions by MPS are so predictable in these cases.
