I had the misfortune to be trapped on the same train as Everton Fans celebrating their teams win at Swansea at the Weekend - Saturday Evenings Cardiff to Llandudno at around 19:35. My attention was drawn as we got on the train at Cardiff which I think only had 2 coaches? Charging down the carriage singing 'Your journeys going to be a nightmare!' - my son somewhat upset at this drunken (and foul mouthed behaviour) we immediately got off and moved to the other carriage as the thought of spending 3 hours with this mob didn't fill me with joy (I am myself an Everton Fan but no longer attend games).
The train was pretty full and I said to the guard 'you're going to have to do something about this lot' fearing for the people who had to put up with the carriage containing them.
I don't know what happened but all the singing died down and I noticed a lot of Police at Cwmbran - whether the fans were ejected or Police travelled on the train I don't know. The few Everton Fans in our carriage were well behaved and enjoyed a drink and a chat on the way home.
I was wondering whether the Police have the right to remove their alcohol they brought with them and indeed does the guard or train manager have the right. It also raised the question as what to do in this situation as this was probably the last train that was going to get us back to Chester that night and therefore I was stuck with it - that or spending another night in a hotel in Cardiff.
Ultimately I'd have probably coughed up for a taxi rather than put up with the aggro.
