Frequently Asked Questions
Can you cope with allergies? We can provide vegan/vegetarian/gluten free alternatives for those with these dietary requirements. Please explictly select these on your booking, then mention on the train on the day as you receive goodies. Sadly, other allergies / intolerances cannot be catered for. Please note that all food and drink is prepared and distributed close to each other and so there is likely to be cross-contamination. Safety first is really important so if an allergy or intolerance is severe, please do not eat the main or alternative option.
