I notice that someone has accused a member of East Coast staff of consuming alcohol whilst on duty via the East Coast twitter feed. The duty tweeter for East Coast, rather unwisely in my opinion, has asked for more details and the member of staff has been named. Obviously I'm not going to repeat the allegation here, but it is quite specific (even giving the train's headcode) and, on the face of it, does not appear to be malicious or mischievous. Apart from the question of whether the allegation is true or not, it is very worrying to note that no-one from East Coast or otherwise has acted to delete or modify the tweet which actually names the person. I should add that, as far as can be determined, the person involved is not a member of operational staff.
