She stomped away and we got another about 15 mins later. We then had a fantastic new waitress from Glasgow. She made up for the very rude first one. Food was great so that was a relief after the start we had.

Staff not overly apologetic about this, i would have thought they should give a free meal. BLUE TRAIN HAS LOST ME AS A CUSTOMER!!
