ScotRail has introduced a ban on drinking alcohol on all trains and stations.
The railway operator has introduced the strict new measures to support the public health measures in place to tackle coronavirus.
People travelling on ScotRail trains or in stations will now not be allowed to consume alcohol.
The restrictions are aimed at ensuring the public maintain physical distancing and support greater use of face coverings at all stages of the journey.
ScotRail has assured the public that the measure is temporary and it will be reviewed continuously as government guidelines change.
The new rules will be supported by the British Transport Police, who will assist railway staff where required to ensure that people follow the guidance.
Body cameras will also be used by some frontline staff to help with the enforcement of the restrictions.
Customers will be informed about the alcohol ban through messages on social media channels, customer information screens, and announcements at all stations.
The consumption of alcohol is currently banned on ScotRail services between 21.00 and 10.00.
David Lister, ScotRail Sustainability and Safety Assurance Director, said: “Throughout the pandemic, our people have been working flat out to deliver a safe and reliable service for customers throughout the country.
“Our five rules for safe travel have been followed by customers and the introduction of these restrictions on alcohol will help to ensure that our staff and customers remain safe.
“We ask that everyone travelling on our trains, and passing through stations, play their part and comply with this clear guidance.”
Mick Hogg, RMT Regional Organiser, added: “RMT welcome this ban on alcohol that will help to keep our staff and passengers safe. We are encouraging all of our members to wear body cameras which will help to keep everyone safe while these restrictions are in place.”
