TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"The lower concourse is a great waiting area away from the crowds, with a Sainsbury’s Local and Black Sheep Coffee for quick refreshments, plenty of seats and tables and often another passenger playing on the station piano. If you’ve got loads of time to spare, check out more shops and eateries in The Sidings, a new retail space with exciting pop-ups and BrewDog’s flagship bar housing duckpin bowling lanes and a giant slide."
