Speaking about food, back in the early 60s when we were spotting off the "glass bridge" at Preston, we would use the station buffet and get a lunch of egg on toast an a mug of tea for 6d. This also doubled up as an excuse to get access to the platform as the railway bobby had instructions to eject any spotters from the station vicinity. I seem to recall you were considered a "criminal" back then for loitering on the station platform with a scrappy notebook and blunt pencil!
