Booze back on tracks

After ministers announced an 'ineffective' alcohol ban on trains will end, Martin Geissler and Laura Miller discuss Scotland’s drinking culture.

The alcohol ban on ScotRail trains, which has been in place since the Covid pandemic, will be scrapped.

Martin and Laura discuss why the Scottish Government dropped the measure.

And we ask Kirsty Mulcahy (pictured) from Sober Buzz what the change tells us about our drinking culture.
