Fine establishment?!? Has it been refurbished?
Last time I was in there it was noticeable that if you stood on one place too long you'd stick to the carpet. Over riding odour was one of stale beer.

Hmm. I have to say here that I agree with member 'bignosemac' on this one: the bar facility at Weston-super-Mare Station could do with a deep clean / spring clean.  |

I was there last Saturday. It didn't particularly smell of stale beer. I'd say it was on the dirty side of averagely clean, definitely not filthy but not spotless. I did notice that one of the chairs at our table was broken. We were disappointed the cafe, advertised on the platform, was closed – in fact we couldn't see any sign of its existence at all, but it did seem to point to a different establishment – as we really wanted some hot food and Off the Rails only had rolls. They were pretty decent rolls though.

Ah, it's all about weights and measures.  |

This is the newer of the two outlets on the platform. This one is accessed if you turn right as you walk onto the main platform and is past the staff offices on the right hand side. Tidy little place but doesn't have that much variation, though they do have a few cooked items which this time of the year is a blessing some mornings. As for Off the Rails, sadly still occupied by those desperate for their pint at 0700 and often still in the same spot 12 hours later, still not great but much improved to how it used to be |
