First North Western, take a bowOn that subject, I recall Merseyrail used to have posters in the 80s saying "don't eat cooked food on trains" (that actual wording). Slightly odd as most food is cooked in some way, just some of it served cold. But they had a point - chips in particular stink the train out. (Less so the burger itself, it's just a beef sandwich).
They do, but the TOC needs to maintain them accordingly (using that as an excuse is like the European excuses for putting graffiti-covered trains out in service, something we don't tolerate here). I recall when Liverpool Lime St went from TOC managed to Network Rail, and the quality of them improved almost overnight. Perhaps Vic needs to be a NR Major Station - or perhaps in the brave new world of GBR they should all be maintained nationally?
