A few weeks ago the best food King's Cross could offer was a sandwich. Not

but I think that's it as far as hot food goes.
Wait, isn't KC ... world famous and all that... the departure point for
the wilds of Scotland ... etc?

Which brings to mind the last movie remake of "The Thritynine Steps".
In which, IIRC, the train for Scotland departs from St Pancras instead
of the more accurate Kings Cross.


But the Thames-Clyde Express left from St Pancras.

And Glasgow trains still leave from Euston.
