Call me old fashioned but 13.00 hours mean one thing. LUNCH!
The fact that I am on a train is neither here nor there.
I have a delicate metabolism and need regular sustenance 
So the announcement that arrived as we pulled out of Bristol Temple Meads did not bode well.
β Welcome aboard this Cross Country train to Manchester (yes, Manchester!) Unfortunately there is no buffet car on this service.β
A silent Grrrr from me.
βThis is due to no catering staff boarding the train at Bristol.β
Yep! That will do itβ¦
Oh the joys of UK trains.
