EC's weekend offering is vastly inferior to its Monday - Friday offering. GC serve complimentary light refreshments and a newspaper, not meals. Try Hull Trains for a complimentary weekend meal in First Class.Which TOC should I try this weekend, GC or EC?
EC's evening meal is served only on seven weekday northbound trains leaving Kings X between 1700 and 1833.I'll just have to take a day off work to experience the full dining service
I can recommend the ATW Premier service, not at weekends obviously.I've already been on the FGW dining car and a Virgin one and quite enjoyed the meals. Which TOC should I try this weekend, GC or EC?
You won't beat FGW dining car - and their Travelling Chef is better than most other TOCs.
Next best is Welsh Premier.
East Midlands do a good breakfast on a few southbound trains - including Saturday I think.
