XC HST First class after 7 from Newcastle to Glasgow

[route101]

Looking at booking XC first class from Newcastle to Glasgow on Friday 15th August , 1936 from Newcastle . Will there be any catering ?

Looking at their timetable it shows catering as being available as far as Edinburgh.

Ostensibly, yes. So in practice , probably about as far as Berwick.

But I've done a few trips where no catering was provided; it's not really a major selling point, unlike LNER. I even had one where an announcement at Tamworth was saying how refreshments will be "brought to your seat", even though the lack of catering was stated on JourneyCheck several hours prior.

If catering is important to anyone making a long journey on XC then I recommend bringing your own supplies.

Although no first class host after Newcastle.

When there is no first class host I thought the person doing the standard class trolley also serves first class passengers?

They do, but after their own duties.

I am aware some customers have been charged for drinks; if I was in that postion I'd request a receipt and obtain a refund.
