Elevenses at last

11am and we leave Craven Arms on the Heart of Wales Line.

The train now has hot water for drinks. I make my way down to the buffet. There is a queue for the trolly serving drinks. Eventually I get two cups of tea and return to our carriage. I find that Christine has already got a drink! One of the crew has set up stall opposite us. He is using one of the newly-purchased kettles. It plugs into a socket in the luggage-rack behind us.

I'm pretty parched by now anyway so I don't mind polishing off both cups.
