    Can anyone identify what train this was ........ St Anne's at around 0230-0300 on Monday morning

    M&S in waverley station - does it sell alchohol

    The assumption is yes but since Scotrail have an alcohol ban on stations and trains, I'm not relying on that assumption. Tried Mr G. Oogle but decided here might be the quickest way to get an answer. Any input appreciated
