If the staff actually did something about the crapulent passenger
element it wouldn't be a problem. It's precisely because nothing gets
done about idiot passengers when they do act up that I choose not to XPT
these days. Why should I, as a paying customer, tolerate that kind of
crap?

Short term solution: Either ban /all/ alcohol on board (You're pissed?
Off you go!) or have some sort of security person roaming up and down
the cars at night, after the train attendant has locked themself into
their cubbyhole.
