(10 Apr 2015, 4:14 pm)Dan wrote I haven't really travelled up and down the East Coast mainline much on weekdays, but Saturdays used to be absolutely dreadful. East Coast seemed to be short staffed quite regularly and I've travelled long-distance (NCL - EDB or NCL - KGX) on a number of occasions where no tickets have been checked for the duration of my journey.Never have any issues journey wise, and reliability is good, it's just the trolley service. Non existent if you use a train between 1600-1730 it would seem.
Used VTEC twice NCL - KGX last week when connecting to/from the Eurostar at St. Pancras, and it was spot on in both directions. 0900ish out of NCL and 1530 out of KGX.
I have to say though, it does bother me less knowing that the other half are having to go without an evening meal.
