Favourite Train Juice

I find a G&T for breakfast as you leave London, just sets the day up nicely.

Just the one?

Just the one?

Two is about correct for the London to Preston, London to Doncaster type run.

Seem to never take into account the connecting train after that though.

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

Dry January for me.
As for M&S cans of death, "Get thee behind me Satan."

Or "get thee behind me Santa" in your case.

How much are people drinking on an average away trip?

I don't drink alcohol on trains. Even on match days. Mind you, I rarely drink but I do love a train journey that lasts a while, get a film on, get a brew out of the Thermos and a couple of thick cut sandwiches and it's as good a way to spend a few hours as any. Unless the trains are being dicks, then it's awful.

Depends what time you leave...

 

[Uncle Buck]

How much are people drinking on an average away trip?

Hmmmm.

2 cans of death on the train.

Probably visit up to 6 pubs pre game.

Pint at half time.

A couple post game.

4 cans of Bow on the train back to London

Pint or 2 at Spoons at Victoria.

So just about within the new drinking guidelines

Always good to know a couple of teetotallers, can borrow their allowance as well.

That is how it works?

The garage up the road from Ebbw Vale train station only sells Strongbow, they know their market.

Depends on how far "away" is. Nearer a lot, further a lot, lot more.

No beer from Victoria to Brighton? Lightweight.

Tend's to be coffee at that time...

 

[Surf's Up]

I swear by 4 or more cans of Stella, depending on the length of the journey - perhaps unsurprisingly I always have trouble pacing myself on away trips

Pretty sure you've raided whistlestop before for the last leg of the journey, to wash down the burger king...

In the past, but I am more responsible these days.

This thread should inspire the next series of Great British Railway Journeys with Michael Portillo getting tanked up between Euston and the likes of Blackburn. I could readily imagine Mr Portillo tucking into a Wetherspoon's breakfast before burying pints of San Miguel.

Following on from the spirit thread, on a train what is your preferred tipple?

For away games, on the morning train from London a couple of these cans of death are always a good pick me up;

On the way back, when generally I am struggling with reality these always do the trick;

Sorry, but the M+S G+T is filth in my opinion
