I hope this happens

When I used the LM 1805 Euston Northampton on a Thursday night (1st declassified), in a 350/3, there was a man, visibly drunk, making quite an awkward situation, and intimidating those around him, making Leery comments to the whole train

What are you hoping will happen??

Not really, but as a 15 year old, I found it pretty weird to see this guy doing pretty freaky and random things, which bordered On the scary in terms of his behaviour. News Articles and friends also say that this happens to them and that Its vas

So using anecdotal evidence , I said why I agreed with them banning drunks from the railway

As for becoming an MP....

Without wanting to sound OTT, Banning him from the railway for a period of time

You can't just have everyone who offends you banned from everything. Where would it end?

Did you bring it to the attention of the Guard to have him removed, with BTP assistance if necessary? If not, why did you not do so?

It's unusual for drunks to cause significant problems on LM south WCML services, they usually just fall asleep, even on the 0015 "vomit comet" from Euston on a Saturday. We're too civilised! :)

No, the train was too crowded to move through

It wasnt just me though , pretty much the whole carriage was offended by him. Im pretty sure someone spoke to the guard though , as someone remarked they would speak to the guard when getting off the train .

What can the guard do though ?
