What's wrong with a G&T from the buffet car?  |

Same for me, only in my case it is their Kenmore whisky and ginger ale in cans.

I suspected as much. Another reason buffet's are losing more and more money sadly.

Get yourself a hipflask for the whisky, ginger ale (if required) can be purchased elsewhere! |

Save that for the brandy to go in the coffee!

One on each hip? Also comes in handy for long, cold waits on platforms during delays? (assuming there isn't a Wetherspoons nearby?)  |

"More enjoyable travelling experience for passengers..."
Are they actually going to train staff properly in ticket validities as well?

As soon as someone starts talking about a train journey as "a travelling experience" I'm afraid I switch off.

Anyone know what the latest is on this redevelopment? When it closed M&S were suggesting they would re-open in "Spring 2016", we are clearly past that.
