Oh? I thought the LU bylaws technically disallowed open containers of
alcohol on LU property - I remember reading about it in a thread in
this group.

It must be right then :-)

Is it permitted to drink alcohol on London Buses and London Underground

On the tube, the byelaws say:

4: Intoxication and possession of intoxicating liquor

(1) No person in a state of intoxication shall enter or remain on
the railway.

(2) Where reasonable notice is, or has been given prohibiting
intoxicating liquor on any train service, no person shall have any
intoxicating liquor with him on it, or attempt to enter such train
with intoxicating liquor with him.

(3) Where an authorised person reasonably believes that any person
is in a state of intoxication or has with him intoxicating liquor
contrary to this Byelaw, the authorised person may:
(i) require him to leave the railway; and
(ii) prevent him entering or remaining on the railway until the
authorised person is satisfied that he has no intoxicating liquor
with him.

Yeah but, how about taking a bottle to a party, or the bottle
of wine in your Sainsburys bag of shopping?

I would imagine the majority of the travelling public carry
alcohol on the tube at some time or other.

The rule is there so that football specials can be designated "dry"
when required.
