So good! I just wish I had the sausage roll too. But during the edit, I discovered that the pie stand in Carlisle station is the same one that supplies the First Class, so I may have to find them next time I'm up north :)
By the way I forgot to mention that the pop up Pie Stall you saw at Carlisle is Pie Demand- the same people as make the TPE 1st class sausage rolls. They are usually there every Thursday to Saturday. Their bakery is actually in the arches below the sidings which are beyond Platform 1 at the station- the bakery has a retail shop as well which is open most days. The bakery/shop is accessed via the station subway accessed by lift from the platforms.
Wow great video! I did TPE the other day in 1st from MAN-OXN and it was absolutely amazing! Opted for the sausage roll and a coca cola! And the seats are so comfy! Along with great value for money! They're a masterpiece I would say! Also just to note on this.. TPE have a 1st class lounge at Huddersfield and thats the only one :)
@TravelSoGood I know! I remember it from when they said about there train driving simulation last year! They said they hosted it in Huddersfield 1st class lounge. I was confused myself I'm yet to go see what all the fuss was about 😄 🤣
I recently travelled between Manchester and Edinburgh a few days ago and first class was nice but the service was baddddd. Granted first class was full. But it was 40 mins after we left manchester before we received our 1 and only drink that was offered during the journey and 2 hours before our meal was served!!! Some passengers waited even longer. The issue was each passengers food and drink over was taken and made 1 at a time! The service felt very personal which was nice but felt soooo slow.
Which is weird. On this journey, the host took everyone's orders in one sweep and only then started preparing the food. However when Glovestrains did it, her experience was more like yours. Perhaps they need an extra member of staff in the kitchen whilst there is a host dealing with customers?
Is it my imagination or did I notice a grim brown stain on the seat of the chair you chose to sit in. I have just booked a first class ticket to Edinburgh in November on this train line so thank you for the review.
Just been on a 14 hour sleeper train from Chișinău to Bucharest and no food service at all. Good job I was pre-warned and brought my own. Mind you it was a lot cheaper at around £11.00 for the journey!
