For anyone getting to train out to Bourg, the the alcohol ban.

I was in St Pancras last night with time to kill before a train so went to ask the staff about the achohol ban for on the ski train. I started my sentences off with "Hi I'm getting the ski train In a few weeks..." and the guy immediately replied "please make sure you don't bring any alcohol at all, anyone found with smuggled drinks will be removed immediately and not allowed to travel".

I asked why they had bought the ban in... his response was... "it got out of hand last year, one carriage ended up on in a full on drunken sex orgy, people were so drunk they were doing it in front of strangers in the isle".

So youve been warned....

Mandatory I believe, which it why it's important to book extra legroom seats... I blame Eurostar for not having enough charging points - once peoples phones and pads run out of juice, they just get bored and resort to clusterf***ing in the aisles.

No booze in the bar car either. Better get a few pre-drinks in at the station then...

I think they've replaced the bar car with a small library, which occasionally hosts a string quartet.

I was actually going to ask if anyone planned on bringing booze... good job i read this post! I didn't realise there was a ban. (could have done with a few beers to help me sleep on the train!!)
