Virgin trains 1st class snack box

[cojak]

Sadly TL is right.

I managed to put on nearly a stone when I did Derby - Leeds 1st class for 6 months

I only went 1st class to ensure that I got a seat, otherwise it was standing all the way...

[thunderlizard]

oh well...

...I've just booked myself on a Virgin Train. I look forward to my kitkatette.
Sadly with Virgin First, the only class difference is this:
in standard class you sit with a bunch of pikies
in first class you sit with a bunch of fatter pikies

[Sockpuppet]

what's actually in them?

am getting the train from reading - manchester this evening and dismayed to find out there's no food served like you get on the euston - manchester train...

instead you get a "snack box".. so what's in them then?

Fedge me.

I took the train from Warsaw to Krakow last week (Krakow was closed so all flights went to Warsaw).

Offered a 5 hour coach journey down (its a good 200 miles) so i opted to go and get the train down. £16 one way with a reserved seat in a compartment with a full food carriage serving proper meals.

Much better than the first class you get in the UK

At the weekend Virgin fill their lunchboxes with crunchy frog chocolates

"We use only the finest baby frogs, dew-picked and flown from Iraq, cleansed in finest-quality spring water, lightly killed, and then sealed in a succulent Swiss quintuple smooth treble cream milk chocolate envelope and lovingly frosted with glucose"

The boxes also contain:

Ram's Bladder Cup
Cockroach Cluster
Anthrax Ripple
Spring Surprise (chocolate wrapped around two metal springs that, upon the melting of the chocolate, spring outward and pierce the victim's cheeks).
Richard Branson's birds-beard soup.

"A mini kit kat."
you mean something even smaller than a normal kit kat? Do they give you a pair of sodding tweezers to pick it up with?

[Bagpuss]

Aren't virgin doing the 1st class for the price of second at the moment. Can't really say the quality of first class is that much better than second, apart from the lack of screaming kids

[chef]

ahh getcha, thanks SA and threaded, very helpful

M&S it is then

[threaded]

no idea, but to be more specific, today then.. what am i likely to get at this time of the month?

I don't know if a Friday evening is a weekday or a weekend in Virgin world, that's what makes the difference.

Snuff.

Well, there are 2.

The normal one has a tiny roll with a horrible plain filling.
A tiny bag of cheese and chive pretzals.
A mini kit kat.
A mini chocolate crunchy thing (very nice!)
Possibly a bag of fruit (but i migth be gettign that confused with the breakfast ones)

But...there are also the highly sort after "girlie pajama party" ones, which contain: -

Tiny Kit Kat.
Mini Chocolate Crunch thing.
Fruit cake.
bag of dried fruit.
orange juice.

--- why anyone would want that much sweet stuff in one pack is beyond me!


I tend to take the filling out of my roll, hoy my pretzals in it (on the sly of course) and bobs your uncle.

Doesn't it vary depending on the time of the month?
