Lambo85 Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Morning guys. Getting the 8:29am train to Aberdeen tomorrow and have heard there is going to be an alchohol ban on all trains to Abderdeen. Can anyone confirm this? Would be handy to know before I fill my bag with cans only to find I cant get on the train with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it's a given they'll ban booze on all trains the sheepland that arrive in time for the game and all trains back to G.O.C. after the game.

That is brutal. I thought they might have banned alchohol on trains from 10:30am onward but you guys reckon they will ban the first train going from Edinburgh to Aberdeen at 7:30am? Spoke to my mate who went up to Inverness last season and he said they had no problem drinking on the trains at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambo_ Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 You'd better phone the train people and ask.... just to be sure! Anyways you'd be better jumping on one of the supporters buses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, anytime I've taken the Edinburgh - Glasgow train for games in the last year or so we have been able to have a wee drink from the trolly that comes around. Same for when we travelled to Tannadice last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahgrassyshoes Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 There was a booze ban on the Inverness train last month but me and my mate walked on with 2 crates on the way up no problems. Managed to bring some pre-mix on the way back down. Just depends on your luck i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redm Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Who decides on these alcohol bans? I always wondered about that. Would it be Scotrail themselves, the British Transport Police or even Grampian Police? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romanov Stole My Pension Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I didn't have any problems taking alcohol on trains to Aberdeen from Edinburgh last season, I thought the bans only affected trains to Inverness on match day. Lucky my train heads up from Glasgow so don't anticipate any problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adeb74 Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 There will also be a ban on the 10:25 East Coast Service to Aberdeen! Our mob has only just started the alcahol ban in the past year. Can blame yon engerlish fans for that. Too much trouble on the trains so they just do a carpet ban on all bevy brought on and sold on train. Pity cause the vast majority of fans are well behaved.

You could also point the finger of blame at a certain bawbag hobo with a lighter and a careless disregard for the flammability of synthetic sheep costumes.
