Default Alcohol on the train

From http://www.overheardindublin.com/:

Quote:
I'm on the nightrain - Bottoms Up

The Sunday Waterford to Dublin rail service had recently banned alcohol on the service prohibiting all alcohol on board in addition to roving security patrols up and down the train. The reason for the Elliot Ness style clamp down was gregarious hoardes of Dubs clambering aboard after a heavy weekend in Kilkenny, still pissed, smoking pot, drinking their voddy and fouling the air with their nasal tones and mangled grammar not to mention their booze infused flatus. To copperfasten Irish Rails no nonsense intent the announcer on the PA announced the following one evening. "This is the 5 o'clock service from Plunkett Station Waterford to Heuston Station Dublin. THERE IS NO ALCOHOL PERMITTED ANYWHERE ON THIS TRAIN, there is no baggage permitted on seats, there is no smoking permitted anywhere on this service including toilets. Anybody found contravening this will be removed from the train by the Gardai at the next station. There was a pause and then the mike was keyed again "Just stay quiet and you'll get there"

There has been massive trouble on the Waterford line at weekends and a serious clamp down has been inforced which is to be welcomed

Ive seen the same on the Rosslare to Dublin train.
One group of lads got on at Wexford and by Wicklow they were barrelling out the door kicking each other. The train just moved on without them and its a pity i didnt fancy a Bavaria as 4 cans were left on the table unopened with various other items of property!
But this happens on a regular basis.
