Eating habits in train stations

Hello,

We are a team of students in Avans Hogeschool in the Netherlands, currently performing a research about the eating habits in train stations.
To be more precise we are interested in these moments, between the meals, when you do not want to eat too much but still crave for something to quench your hunger or your thirst.

Now, imagine yourself at a train station, you are thirsty or hungry or both. What are you going to do? Just let it pass you by, hunger is but an illusion? Search for some food? If so, what kind of food? Or are you going to do something completely different?
What would you do in a train station you are familiar with? And in one you have never been before?

There is only one limitation, you cannot leave the train station or at least not go very far from it.

We are hoping for answers as accurate and diverse as possible.

Thank you.

Normally just grab some crisps or a butty from WH Smith or a "big red vending machine" that every platform has 10 of these days, or somthing?

Probably a cup of tea (or latte) and a scone if there's a cafe.

To most people train station and railway station are one and the same thing.

And what would you call a station that had trains and trams ?

A transport interchange? "Train Station" is a horrible Americanism. To me it's a Station on the Railway, not a Station on the Train.
