Hello ThomasS and welcome to the Railway Forum. I find that a glass of water will stop hunger for a few hours. I can't have any sugar (diabetic) and try to keep away from eating between meals. Water has been my answer for a long time and always works.

AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHH! THE DIRTY BA.....! lol haha that is gross, poor cleaners and mental note never to pick up a discarded Hi Viz! lol

Hi Thomas, welcome to the Forum.

If I am travelling any distance I usually have some food with me. If I have to spend time at a station I would look for a drink of tea or coffee.

Best wishes,

John H-T.

Welcome to this very informal & friendly forum, Thomas. I normally travel with some sausage rolls and a can of coke, but am not averse to visiting pubs situated outside stations for a bite to eat (burger & chips, etc) and a couple of pints to wash it down. However, when I've travelled in Holland, the perfect solution is to be found (as no doubt you know); those dispensing windows to be found on many Dutch stations, equipped with a large variety of inexpensive savoury snacks - they're DELICIOUS! My favourites were Nasi Goreng and Fricadels. Just the job - keep you going all day until it's time for a whole meal. Highly recommended to all rail travellers visiting Holland. :):):D

i worked in the buffet at manchester victoria,we had to clean the toilets too,,we put on a big red glove and once i had to remove a pair of tights with soiled underwear in them,this was in the male toilets ermm??we made all the food and it was fresh and hands were washed frequently,,food in railway stations is over priced and microwaveable,no nutrition but a quick fix until you reach home for a balanced meal,my advice is to take sandwiches,you know who made them,and whats in them.

good advice faltskog36abba, I am traincrew and used to eat each day on stations, add the cost of starbucks etc etc and I was spending £10 frequently each day. I've saved a fortune and spend about £10 a week on taking a packup and a flask! DIY Its the future! lol

Nasi Goreng...........bring it on !

I got the taste for that when I was in the far east, in fact in the Market in Kuching (Sarawak) they done the "bestest" Nasi Goreng ever.

There thats surprised you lot "Eh" ?

A long way from Nuneaton shed AND I have been on the footplate of a Malaysian train travelling from Tampin overnight.

Always fancied Malaysia, would love to get the train from Singapore to Kula Lumper!

Back in the late 1960s we used to eat pie, chips and gravy and drink cream soda at Durban station (South Africa) on our weekend outings with my dad. The old railway terminal had a lot of character, unlike the cattle shed that replaced it (a few miles away). It can be seen at 29 51' 22.89"S 31 01' 26.16"E (paste that in the "fly to" box) on Google Earth. The old workshop can be seen to the right and is now a shopping center and flea market (in the original building) and the station is a health studio. The trains entered and exited to the left and the tracks followed the road to the north west.

Ooh, I like cream soda !

Can you still buy it ?
