Think they are told if they mess up, even slightly they get dumped on guard duty and then docked pay.

They run the risk of being back-trooped as well.

As someone who has the misfortune to cart them around, I can tell you that some are a real problem on the trains.

Abusive behaviour when drunk is the main problem. Ability to hold drink is obviously not part of the selection procedure.

Shop em to their respective barracks commandant. They'll either get hammered by their CO's or worse the rest of their mates when their mates get leave refused because of behaviour.

Funnily enough I did threaten to inform the camp security the other day after I had a bunch of clowns playing chicken by leaning in front of the train as I rolled in.

From FGW live updates:

Quote

This train will be started from Topsham. It will no longer call at: Exmouth, Lympstone Village, Lympstone Commando and Exton. This is due to disruptive passengers earlier.

Reportedly someone was locked in the toilet threatening to harm themselves, so Police were in attendance, and consequently the service after (mentioned above) terminated/restarted at Topsham.
