    TRIVIA: Stations with Wetherspoons

    I see what you mean, in fact, the old station building is incorporated into a hotel in Keswick and that is not too far from the Wetherspoons there. :D 1671185384 Yes, I will try the Great Western next time I am in Cardiff. I think the largest Wetherspoons in the UK is at Ramsgate in Kent...

    TRIVIA: Stations with Wetherspoons

    I went to both of those fairly recently. Interesting locations. 1670060274 They did used to have good Sunday roasts, but did away with them some years ago which I think was a great shame. It would be good to see those bought back?

    TRIVIA: Stations with Wetherspoons

    I noticed that Wetherspoons have appeared to improve their menu, with not only Christmas items being added for this month, but also on their regular menu, I presume too. Just saw steak and kidney pudding for example.

    There is a pub right by the Haymarket Bus Station in Newcastle Upon Tyne, I think it may be called "The Junction", there are also a couple of Wetherspoons not so far away from there too.

    TRIVIA: Stations with Wetherspoons

    In fact there is, or was, a footpath on the right hand side of the road when you come out of Carlisle Railway Station that goes past the acks of those pubs, you just walk through the rear outside seating area into the rear area of the pubs. Saves a few of minutes, which is handy if you are on...

    TRIVIA: Stations with Wetherspoons

    Is the Duke of York the one on York Station Concourse near the Scarborough Bay Platforms, that housed a model railway some time ago.? You do find with Wetherspoons, that prices can vary depending on location and sometimes if there are more than one in a town or city, then one may be cheaper...
