A new menu has been launched on direct train services from Bolton to Glasgow and Edinburgh. We travelled first class with TransPennine Express from Bolton to Glasgow to give the menu a try. The new ‘West Coast Kitchen’ is available daily on services between Manchester/Liverpool to Cumbria and Scotland.
Food and alcohol are included free of charge to all First Class ticket holders. For those travelling before 11am, breakfast includes omelettes in a soft white roll, a Highland Breakfast including a Scottish Lorne Sausage, Black Pudding, back bacon, a frittata, and baked beans. The highland breakfast includes bacon, sausage, baked beans, black pudding, and a frittata (Image: Jack Fifield, Newsquest) Sign up to our newsletters to get the latest stories sent straight to your inbox.

Lighter options include a butter croissant or porridge. For the rest of the day, food options include Macaroni Cheese, Cauliflower & Potato Curry, and a Vegan Sausage Roll, amongst others, on weekdays, and roast dinner options on weekends.
Options alternate between two menus weekly, so that regular commuters can choose different options. Vegans can enjoy a cauliflower curry (Image: Jack Fifield, Newsquest) A selection of soft and alcoholic beverages, including tea, coffee, lemonade, as well as Sauvignon Blanc, Malbec, Rosé, and beer, are inclu.
