@@abaddon2148 if you want an actual analysis, it’s because car infrastructure became the trophy child of neoliberalism, and with neoliberalism, car corporations became exponentially more powerful and lobbying. this led to a neglect of our railways, culminating in the privatisation of train services, where amenities were cut back to the bare minimum to squeeze the most profit out of the deflating number of passengers. some trains still have very basic drink and snack cars - i know virgin had some on their pendolinos - and those could be just as easily trashed as a pub carriage.

Were dining cars not available previously? What were the French and Germans doing? I get the feeling this is making a big deal about alcohol suddenly being served on trains in the UK.
Carriages arent over packed. Is this because people couldnt afford the train? Or because the commuting population had been half wiped out by a few wars recently?

All of the major train stations in the UK have a pub. And yes, drunk passengers aren't uncommon. Especially because you can buy booze at a shop in the station to take on the train. :)
Time this sort of thing was brought back again… why spoil a good thing.. plus drop the prices on train travel and meals/drinks ext and British rail would make a fortune …
@@blank_3768 Oh, yeah, you're definitely doing this on purpose. 😂 When was the percentage of ethnic Britons ever below 90%? There were brown migrants before mind you but this is a recent demographic problem. Oh, and before you argue about the invasion of either the Romans, the Angles and the Saxons, the Jutes, the Vikings, or the Normans you're basically admitting you have no argument because besides being ancient history you are admitting to not understanding what an ethnic identity is or what's more likely you're pretending not to. Also not all migrants are "Brown" (and I don't just mean that not all MENA are literally brown), some are Asian, and a lot now are Polish or Ukrainian. The problem is still the same whether they are French or Guyanese (although granted, the culture would be a lot more similar if they were, say, Dutch, of course).

@@mach1nefan My comment was mostly a joke but I agree with you
I've seen so many comic videos where they use the 40s/50s British accent and I first thought this was a joke video before I realised it's a legit one

What a nice way to get home,calm and relaxing
And pissed
now i feel lucky if i can get a seat

Obviously this was for the average Joe either..
Old is Gold.
I always drink on the train
I almost forgot this was a British reel, the American transatlantic accent was extremely similar, and all our old videos sound just like this. 👍👍👍
Tell you what.....
Those rails must have been laid down perfect, for all that glass 🍸 to stay on the shelves. 🚂
These days you feel blessed if there's a train
Wow...must have worked far from home??? Think of how many people missed their stops!!😂🤣
“The extra attraction…” would be no roaring, drunken, aggressive chavs staggering around.
Where oh where are they now ? 👍👍👍
Still available on occasional weekends thanks to some heritage railways, so you still get a steam train as well as a beer 🍻
Olde World-y!!!
great days unlike these days
That’s what they will say about now.

They’re still on trains
and then they scrapped them all
Bloody Tories. They call themselves conservatives, but they're the biggest wreckers of any heritage that normal people use.
Because society changed
@@weekiely1233 Not for the bebetter.
@@tonys1636 because people aren’t as addicted to alcohol as they were and people tend to drive more or use other forms of transit?
Because uk got less White@@weekiely1233
Chicago Metra trains used to have bar cars.
I wish trains were still like this.
I wish people could be trusted to have a pub on a train these days!
Where did we go wrong ! 😢
Debt?
Open borders
Not letting Germany rescue you from Anglo-Saxonism twice
embracing idiocracy.

Mr Cholmley Warner takes the 6.10 to Surbiton 😊
Now you're lucky to have doors on the train
Where the hell do you live?

What a beautiful time to be alive, it was back then.
lol, unless you had polio.
I miss real Britain in this era
where is the strength of diversity?

With our current society, if you put a pub next to a train station, then all passengers would just be drunk.💀💀 imagine facing drunk passengers.
I remember the train from Manhattan to Long Island used to have a bar, but due to all the drunks it was taken out
All of the major train stations in the UK have a pub. And yes, drunk passengers aren't uncommon. Especially because you can buy booze at a shop in the station to take on the train. :)
Not at $20/ a drink!
If?
certainly never took off

The first internet cafes were held in carriages like that too, way back in the '50s long before it became 'fashionable'
Why are these lovely videos attracting such boorish people?
Boorish ?? Look in the mirror at yourself before passing judgment on people you disagree with and who don't share in your opinions
Lots of cigarettes
Then came in the migrants
i don’t know if you know this, but Britain has always had migrants.
@@blank_3768 True but this is a really disingenuous comment if you're attempting to say that it's anything like today.
@@RuthvenMurgatroyd my mistake, let me reframe that. Britain has always had migrants, they’re just now brown.
