    1000 from KGX 'The Northern Lights' first class

    The timetable PDF changes from yellow (breakfast) to blue (rest of the day) at Yotk Does that mean the crew and food trolleys change over there? Would alcohol be served from that point onward? James

    Wales & Borders Franchise Consultation
