Train dining recommendations

[GodAtum]

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?

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.

Ah OK, I'll just have to take a day off work to experience the full dining service then!

EC's evening meal is served only on seven weekday northbound trains leaving Kings X between 1700 and 1833.

take your own buttys - they will be nicer. Catering on trains is not very good these days. Unless you are an FC passenger when you get some free scran (sometimes). Still even that isnt good enougth for some

I can recommend the ATW Premier service, not at weekends obviously.

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.
