A more civilised journey from Stowmarket to London

For those of us who regularly travel to London, one of the consolations of having to make the journey was that the restaurant car was probably the best in the country, and there was much distress when National Express East Anglia cut it during the winter.

Clearly, the muttering from regular users of the service has been heeded, as today sees the introduction of an at-seat menu on the 19:30 service from Liverpool Street to Norwich. Choices include steak and merlot pie, lamb shank, a vegetarian tartlet, chicken salad, crayfish salad, pasta dishes, cheese and biscuits plus a range of desserts.

Alright, it won't be the award-winning service there once was, but it's a start...
