New alcohol ban?

packetswitch · 13-08-2007, 16:15

I saw a sign at Heuston today saying that alcohol is not permitted on trains.

1. Is this a new, general rule? I know certain trains have such rules but is this an across-the-board thing?
2. How will they / do they distinguish between alcohol sold on trains (which is presumably still permitted?) and alcohol brought by a passenger?
3. Does this apply to the transport of alcohol or merely the consumption of it? (Logic would presume the latter, but I think the notice certainly suggested the former...)
4. Is this a good idea?
