"That's why from 1 June the drinking of alcohol will be banned from the
tube, tram, bus, and Docklands Light Railway."

Have they forgotten the 'Overground' then?
Will crowds flock to mainline terminals with bars on the concourses?
Is this a real problem?

Spotted the Overground wasn't there too, which begs the question what
happens on joint routes like Richmond-Gunnersbury and Queens Park-Harrow &
Wealdstone. He presumably doesn't have the power on Network Rail (there
are presumably routes wholly within London you can still *buy* booze on
the train, surely?), but I've no idea what powers he actually has to do
this (he does have them, presumably?).


Interesting point - I'd just put it down to a cockup.

More confirmation that LO is still part of the National Network perhaps. In
your example Richmond definitely is - would Gunnersbury be a Network Rail
station leased and run by LU or LO?
