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. :)
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.
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 …

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?
We still have a Bord-restaurant in Switzerland and Germany on long distance trains, which serve Beer! (The beer is not even expensive - 4,55€ for 0.5L)

@@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).
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

'Travelling Taverns'
Are you suggesting, it was filmed in a stationary room?
“The extra attraction…” would be no roaring, drunken, aggressive chavs staggering around.
back then they were allowed to throw you off at the nearest station and bar you from going to such trains, too bad it's literally illegal now

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. :)
