I'll be travelling from Sheffield to Stevenage next month (weekday, leaving Sheffield approx 17:30).
Please can anyone let me know what the current hot food service is like on the EMT services - I don't usually travel that route as I generally use ECML to Doncaster.
On this occasion I will have been walking all day in the peak district so would be wanting a larger meal than VTEC are currently offering & the timings make it quicker via St Pancras in any case.
Thanks.
Taken from the EMT website, maybe a pub or restaurant maybe be better option.
