The unions are already getting fidgety about enforcing it (they haven't
been asked, apparently),


Why is it any more dodgey than asking somebody to stop smoking, can I see
your ticket, turn your ipod down or take your feet off the seat, but then

The drivers are on 40 grand a year for Christs sake! let them earn their
money by telling a crowd of ****ed up yobs to stop drinking or get of the
train. Some people are taking money for nothing!!


That's presumably unless there's someone on the train who earns more
than that who can do it instead?

I hadn't noticed a correlation between high salary and the expectation
of having physical confrontation added to your job description without
consultation.

However, if you are right, the politicians will be carrying out their
own policies very directly.
