Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they have given any consideration to banning the service of free alcoholic drinks on all rail services, in the interests of public health.

This is a commercial decision for Train Operating Companies. However, a number of train operators run ‘dry trains’ meaning that no alcohol is allowed on board. This normally happens on the advice of British Transport Police when it is known large groups will be travelling, for example to a football match.
