Last Friday's journey with Transport for Wales felt like stepping back into the golden age of British rail travel. First-class ticket in hand, I eagerly anticipated a fine dining experience rare in today’s travel.
Boarding the 12:47 from Cardiff to Manchester, even a 10-minute delay couldn't dampen my excitement. The wait for my meal built anticipation, made pleasant by complimentary tea served in a china cup, a nod to elegant travel of yesteryear.
The culinary adventure began with a hearty lamb cawl, a comforting Welsh stew, followed by a divine bread and butter pudding with custard. At £19 for two courses, it was a testament to Transport for Wales’ commitment to onboard fine dining.
This experience amidst the scenic Welsh landscape was enchanting, a reminder of the luxurious facets of rail travel, preserved by dedicated companies like TfW.
