End of the line for boozers

AFTER a heavy night the last train home is an option for many revellers who’ve had one too many drinks.

But this is about to end as Arriva Trains Wales (ATW^▸ ) launches an alcohol ban on the Rhymney Valley line tomorrow (Friday), meaning no-one can take booze onto platforms or trains, or even board a train if they are drunk.

Continues https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/local-news/end-line-boozers-2168486

Also applies on the lines north of Pontypridd to Treherbert, Aberdare, and Merthyr Tydfil, just in case you were tempted!
