Never mind that, how can there be two FTers with Star Gold status who make regular weekend trips between Edinburgh and Doncaster on GNER in first class?

The toasties are great ^ as are the endless tea refills. This compared to First Great Western, where weekend pax must go to the buffet car and collect complimentary water or tea which is served in measures approximately half the size of the ones sold to standard class pax from the same counter. Moral of the tale: on FGW, ask for two of everything
