I regularly use the King's Cross Tandoori to purchase starter, main course, poppadoms, salad, spinach side and naan for my journey north after football.
I sit in a single rear-facing 1st class seat and enjoy a 1st class meal to help the journey time pass (along with a 4pack of...
Yet again today, issues with day rovers due to the total cancellation of the HUD to Castleford service because of a "shortage of train drivers". They were obviously too busy on the 195s in Huddersfield sidings to carry passengers anywhere.

Megabus southbound has helped me justify my 1st class northbound journeys to and from countless matches for years.
