However, the wider point that someone commuting from, say, Uxbridge

I'm not sure the class point holds - someone commuting to Stratford
can buy a drink, whereas someone commuting to Chalfont and Latimer
can't even drink one...


Do the carts on Thameslink sell Alcohol? *IIRC they do.


I don't think it does have 'class' implications. I think there is a
problem with anti-social behaviour on the Underground, but my issue is
how will this be enforced?
