Trivia: Last thing you ate on a train

[backontrack]

Mine is now yesterday. A bag of Kettle crisps (Lightly Salted flavour) while on 171804 between Eridge and East Croydon (1750 to London Bridge).

I prefer the Cheese and Red Onion variety.

Two dry ricecakes that I grabbed on my way out the door two hours ago, which didn't even touch the sides, and I'm starving!. First stop when I get there is find a Greggs!

 

[SickyNicky]

About an hour ago ... mmmm

 

[Drogba11CFC]

An egg & cheddar roll, cathedral City mini cheddars and a bag of mini chocolate fingers on a VT weekend first from Manchester to Euston.

And again this morning...

Mtogo at Liverpool Central were handing out vouchers for a meal deal for £1.99 this morning. Not many sandwiches left (all the BLTs gone ) but I've just eaten a very tasty salmon, cream cheese & cucumber one, washed down with a bottle of Tropicana, and I've got a tub of melon & grapes for tea tonight - too messy to tackle in transit! Very good value, but they won't make any money on it!

A banana on 220 012 somewhere between Cheltenham and TM.

 

[Drogba11CFC]

Beef & Horseradish sandwich, crisps and chocolate & raspberry sponge in first class on VTEC.

Off the trolley, or did you bring your own?

Monday; 12.10 East Midlands Trains dep from Lincoln to Peterborough, although I went only as far as Sleaford.

I had a bought M&S fruit salad and a cup of tea from 'Cafe Express' on the platform. A more miserable and overpriced coffee shop you'd be hard pushed to find.

 

[Crossover]

A caramel shortcake on Saturday on a 185 coming home from a railtour I had been on earlier

I dined in style on the Isle of Man Railway's dining train last Thursday. As ever the food and service were both excellent

Tuesday 7th July, had a Ham and Cheese toast on 09.16 Tiverton Parkway to Plymouth FGW HST, then did Pullman dining on the 12.01 Plymouth to London, had Sardines ,Steak and Chocolate Nemesis desert, and 2 Cokes. Very nice meal cooked to the usual high standard, pleasant way to spend couple or so hours.

 

[DEE-DE]

Pullman Brunch: Cereal, cooked breakfast and Welsh cakes. Better than the breakfast on the Caledonian Sleeper would've been and enough for breakfast and lunch.

 

[185143]

A packet of Tesco value custard creams on a pendo Carlisle to Warrington. (Biscuits came from Whitehaven-anyone who can guess why I might have been on the route through Whitehaven?)

 

[Springs Branch]

A muesli bar & a flat white coffee on a brand-new Bombardier A-City EMU (unit 4019, still with "new train" smell) in Adelaide, South Australia.

[Segedunum]

Honey mustard chicken pasta, Sweet and salty popcorn, and a Lucozade cloudy lemonade on the 1841 Manchester-Hull on Friday.

 

[dave55uk]

Belly pork dinner followed by apple crumble - in FGW Pullman dining car between Plymouth and Paddington. Very nice too!

 

[Kite159]

A very nice chicken salad on a Virgin 390 on route to Wigan

 

[backontrack]

A Twix on a FGW Class 180. It was my first ride on one of these (well, technically second - I had one both ways, eating the Twix on the return) and I found them to be comfortable. The chairs actually leaned back, instead of those horrible ones on the Pendolinos that push your head forward.

Last Saturday, 22.22 London Kings Cross to Stevenage - Chicken Shish kebab with extra chilli sauce

 

[cactustwirly]

M&S Pains Aux Chocolat on 2F35 1233 Orpington to Cannon St between London Bridge and Cannon St (SE 376) 18/08

 

[Blindtraveler]

Had a most satisfying and huge salad box and a baked potato with chicken and sweetcorn mayo on a Northbound Pendo from Preston on Monday, bought from a takeaway about 10 mins from station. I sadly cant recall the name of it, it was recommended by a Taxi driver and was what they had ready without wating. Wise decision as it happened!

I used to make an evening journey from Inverness to Edinburgh on a Fri regularly changing at Perth. At around Dunkeld I would order a chinese for delivery to PTH and consume it on the nearly empty 158 working the 20:02. Sometimes pax would complane, mostly though they wouldnt say anything, unless Id gone for summit stinky!
