Of course, I did London to Glasgow only Wednesday so Ive seen first hand
That’s interesting, I got far better service with the London-Preston crew than the Preston-Glasgow crew in both directions!
Are you travelling during the week?
I would class 70 minutes as being outside of a "quickie", so, I would expect you to receive the long-distance offering. If you are travelling during the week, you are likely to be offered a sandwich (vegetarian option available), a tzatziki salad, cous cous or chips & salsa. You will also be offered fruit or cake. The full offering may not be available though, as some products may be out of stock by the time the train reaches Carlisle. On a weekend, you will be offered snacks and refreshments, you can purchase something more substantial from The Shop, if you wish.
The First Class service is the same for the time of day the OP is travelling, on both Pendolinos and Voyagers.
That's a Class 1 train, so it's a Pendolino. Hope the weather is good for you, the trip over Beattock and down the upper Clyde valley is one of my favourite runs.
Quite a few times. Main dishes leaving London, Wolverhampton and Preston. Snacks given out after Carlisle. You can read more about it on my thread
So you had three main meals in one journey?Quite a few times. Main dishes leaving London, Wolverhampton and Preston. Snacks given out after Carlisle. You can read more about it on my thread

Well, they tried to give me four but I declined!
Thanks
No, the next day. Review of evening meal service to follow.
Indeed it is, but the smaller kitchen on the Voyagers means that there will be less stock on board and therefore it could run out before Carlisle. Not to mention the obvious disadvantages a Voyager has over a Pendolino in terms of passenger comfort.
I do. I was on a Voyager on Tuesday though. An earlier post wasn't specific about which train was being taken between Carlisle and Glasgow, so I warned that some of those were Voyagers. Then a specific train was mentioned and I said "That one's OK, it's a class 1 so you [definitely] won't get a Voyager." I didn't say all the class 9s were Voyagers.
Main meals is a bit strong for what they are.
I went in first with VT this week, when I went they didnt come round with food orders after carlisle, but they did offer snacks and drinks. However on the way home they did offer sandwiches, wraps, crisps and cake before Carlisle
And people wonder why the food runs out by the time the train gets to Carlisle...Well, they tried to give me four but I declined!
They gave me Eggs Benedict leaving London. Fresh fruit salad leaving Wolverhampton. Bacon Roll and Soup leaving Preston.
To be fair that train was one that crossed between breakfast and lunch, and probably got restocked at Birmingham/Wolverhampton and definitely at Preston.
