Whoever operates the trollies on "Southern" services did have alcahol
available a few months back on the Brighton line. I wouldn't normally
take a lot of notice, however a business type indulged in a couple of
shorts en route to Brighton on the 09.06 from Victoria and recieved
some unaproving glances.

It looks as though the Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith, is jumping on the Boris
Johnson bandwagon, and is threatening to ban alocohol from all trains
