Normal rules apply. Never ever trust a privatised UK train to get you where you need to be, when you need to be there for. Might as well fill in the Delay Reply form before you you even leave home.

So what's the idea of the no booze proposal then? Part of the insurance? Agreement with the transport police? Agreement of the hire of the carriages?
Whether it's worth the money sort of depends on how strictly this rule is going to be maintained.
On the other hand, if it's going to get to Manc at 12:30 that's enough time for a couple of pre-match beers. It's more the way back. Not sure I could stay sober till 11 after the footy

It's law.

I've been to plenty of away games on the train (not for a few years) and the only time I recall being on a "dry" train was when they ran out of booze on the way back from Port Vale in 2001.

My last two trips to Manchester have cost £74 return (F&F railcard with my son, totalling £95). So this special train doesn't really seem worth it!?

Euston to Manchester return, with railcards, generally around £35 if bought with Advance fares, so the only reason to use this service would be to avoid the hassle at Euston there will be that day with Palace at Liverpool for a 3pm kick off the same day! But no booze on the train means its a no no for me

So once again the club try something and we shoot them down. I am a single traveller who uses Seagull Travel and have skipped the long distance trips because of the early starts and late returns. I'd be in for this regardless of cost except that a coach has local pickups and takes me to the ground.
