Sorry, I used those two as an example of the refreshments on offer, I was asking what else did people like, idea of thread was mainly to discuss experiences on away days drinking in the buffet cars

Yes that's right Youngers Tartan, it was available by the can too. I regularly used to put many a can away on train journeys north on away days back in the 1980's.

A bit like BG though, I don't have the capacity nowadays, and am much happier with a gin & tonic.

Maybe Holsten Pils but I seem to remember the lager choice also including Harp or Carlsberg. I don't recall Ruddles to be honest. Dinky cans of Courage Light Ale too on some trains

I think I remember Ruddles, didn't it come in little green bottles.
Also cheese sandwiches and dog ends, lots of them.
