If price is an issue, don't buy stuff in stations - it's all overpriced. BK isn't cheap anyway.
Cheaper than Leon though, although up here in grim West Yorkshire BK is a long forgotten thing at our largest station. Its McD or KFC on the concourse at Leeds.
Fine, replace it with an Upper Crust or whatever, or even a purveyor of BR style cheese on Mother's Pride. The point is if you don't want greasy, unpleasant-smelling food eaten on trains, the easiest solution, as most people buy stuff in stations, is not to sell greasy unpleasant-smelling food in stations.
Whilst I don't particularly like the smell, I for one am not going to get bent out of shape about others eating the stuff on the train. My earlier point was that replacing these kind out outlets with more expensive, if slightly healthier outlets for the sake of people's health isn't exactly the smartest idea away from the City of London. Perhaps if Leon extended their health policy to people's finances...
By the way there's already a Leon in Euston and I believe the prices are not marked up.
Well I'm sure that goes down well with the Buckinghamshire set. However when I saw the Leon prices (not on their website funnily enough), I went all Yorkshire and shouted "How Much???".
You'll be pleased to know that there's a LEON opening at Leeds soon. But stations shouldn't be exclusively the preserve of yuppie food.
Indeed, however I'm sure that some people in Leeds will delight at the prospect of some Yuppie food outlet that they can tell all their colleagues about. Personally I'll be giving it a wide berth, not just because of the Yorkshire incompatible prices, but because if I want to eat healthier, which I often do, I use the much maligned area of our homes the kitchen and cook fresh, healthier food.
How the heck is this debate still ongoing?
Because RUK....
