    London North Eastern Railway (LNER) First Class service

    If everyone has eaten and nobody gets on then there's no need for them to take sandwiches or offer a meal the next time round. Most crews will also remember who they've served and not, even if the train is full. For most it's what they do everyday.

    London North Eastern Railway (LNER) First Class service

    The offer is designed only for a passenger to eat one main item from each menu available on a train. So if it was London to Edinburgh and the train only offered the All Day Menu you'd be offered once. That's not to say that is what happens. Again the Cafe Bar is always there.

    The Shepherds Pie looks and tastes like it has meat in it! Chicken Pie & Chips may only be Evening Meal services from Kings Cross. The baked potatoes have at least 2 meat fillings, one is Chilli the other Tikka and I think they rotate.

    EC Yesterday

    FYI the 0725 from Aberdeen was terminated at Doncaster after a bird flew into and damaged the leading cab windscreen shortly after departing Edinburgh. The set was turned at Newcastle, however the set would not have been able to return north from London. There was no mechanical issue with that...
