Yes, unless it is a 'footex', i. e special trains for a football match which I believe are dry.

Why do Americans continue to answer questions about which they have no knowledge? Are they so keen for the points? Yes, of course you can drink alcohol on UK trains, provided you are 18, behave yourself and it is not a football special. And as others have said, many trains actually sell alcohol. There is even the case of the group which had dinner on a London Underground train, complete with champagne (I think there is footage of this available on youtube, but haven't checked for the page) Later. David is right about licensing restrictions, although, of course, this is now much less important as sale of alcohol is allowed 24/7 everywhere these days. However, it wasn't always so and I well remember a Guinness advert telling drinking of that fluid how to obtain it 24 hours a day. They had worked out a journey to accomplish this, part of which was spent in the buffet car of a train. - they didn't say what state the drinkers would be in at the end of the time, though!
