I will (assuming the COVID situation continues to improve) be going to Scotland at the end of May/early June to do some backpacking/wild camping and am trying to plan how I get back home.
I am initially flying up to Glasgow then getting a bus to Fort William then either train or taxi to Glenfinnan.
Coming back, I am thinking of either getting a day train all the way back to Horsham or getting a combination of trains and tram to Edinburgh airport and flying to Gatwick.
In the first option, the journey will take nearly 12 hours so the question is what to do for meals.
After a week of physical exhertion I would not want to be snacking all day, I'd want at least one substantial meal.
My question is, is it possible to get a decent meal on the train from Glasgow to Euston, or is it restricted to light catering?
The journey is too long to break at a city and eat in a pub so if the on-train catering is very limited, the only options if I take the rail journey all the way home is to either go hungry, or look into breaking the journey overnight somewhere (would that require two tickets).
