In other news, took my first ride on a TfL Rail train into Liverpool St,
and was dismayed by a "no alcohol" policy. And there weren't even any
football supporters on the train. Welcome to 1920's USA.

All TfL trains and buses have had no a no-alcohol policy for almost a
decade.

Not something which makes any sense out in the wilds of Essex in the
daytime.

I agree entirely. Punish antisocial behaviour by all means. Not legal
activity just in case it leads to an illegal act.

But I think that TfL's takeover of ex-BR routes has worse things: the
closing of perfectly good tiolets on their Overground class 317s, and
the pointless warnings against using interconnecting doors that are
used entirely safely on other operators using the same rolling stock.

Jeez - after a night out in London I enjoy my can of M&S gin and tonic
on the train home. It's not TfL so against no rules, but WTF should I
be unable to do this?
