Good idea.
I didn't mean i want to go an unusual route, i just want to do some Pendo bashing in FC, because the snack boxes on Voyagers are crap, especially when your only allowed one! (And no alchoholic drinks are complimentary on Voyagers )
If your on a child ticket, you shouldn't be considering consuming any alcohol, and the server would get in serious trouble if they served it to you!
Regarding the discussion about AP's on Primos, they are indeed, seldom seen. On a bog average FC Pendo, the food is only marginally better than the rubbish on a Voyager (eg, on a Pendo you may get some portion controlled cheese croissant (one per person)) which is hardly worth the high price of the ticket. I once bought a "one" advance ticket between London & Norwich, and had a lunch in the FC buffet (which plebs are entitled to do) Overall (for ticket & lunch together) I paid about £15. That IMO is super value. I imagine this could be done on GNER for perhaps £20 - £30, which is still good value for good grub & a ride on a mk3 / 4. However there is no such offer on Virgin- you are either a pleb in cr*p uncomfortable seats, or you are a "snob" in FC with a cr&ppy croissant (unless your a businessman on a Primo - which is paid for by your company expenses). So out of all IC TOC's I know, Virgin (other than the Primo gimmick) give you the least service, with MML not far behind on the service front (with the saving grace of copious amounts of tea & coffee served to you, and the ridiculously cheap fares!)
