M+S was mobbed - queue snaking around the store.

It's the only shop where you can buy a range of things for a "packed
lunch" on the train (and is a replacement for the ever popular
"Whistlestop" - it's a shame there isn't a real "Whistlestop" any more,
one upstairs by the EMT platforms would be a good idea).

And of course it's also the only place to buy something to take home to
cook. Some of the other shops have limited selections of items.

It's also one of the few that doesn't "charge three time as much for ready
food" because it's on a railway station.

Though, presumably, that's only because they charge three times as much
everywhere else anyway!

Agreed. I occasionally wander into the WhistleStop at King's Cross
(platform 8), grimace at the prices (especially for beer and wine),
and wander down the platform to visit M&S Simply Food instead.
