sorry no picture of this pubWell, this one suffers thanks to its location. As one would expect in a station bar, all the clientele are travellers, en route to somewhere else. It does serve beer, eventually, as the bartender seemed overwhelmed when we were in last, with Boddingtons and Worthingtons the only ales on tap. The tone for the place seems to be set by the £1 shots advertised over the bar - real class. It does have a pool table, another rarity in station pubs, and a fantastic view over the station concourse. No one was sitting out there watching the other travellers when we were there last, it's probably no real surprise. Still, if you need a drink, you should be able to get one here, as long as you're not in a hurry.
