If the food/drink is of a good quality, I have no problem paying the premium. I can't always predict what I might want - and in the summer you might want an ice cold drink, not something you've carried in your rucksack all day (or in a carrier bag if you're travelling light). What's more, if I know it is good then I'll actually make a point of holding off before the journey in order to use it - so that means increased custom for the TOC.
In a coffee shop, you pay for the right to buy a space (hopefully) to sit and relax, maybe even work and take advantage of the Wi-Fi. I do wonder why so many people are happy to pay the same premium cost to take their latte away in a cardboard mug.
It's a good idea to carry that Twix in case of a delay, but sadly I fear it would be long gone if I knew it was in my pocket.
