AMT - coffee heaven for the stressed out train passenger
Recommend on Google+
My last train journey of 2008 was from York to Newcastle and back. I must have started and finished the working day at York station more than 20 times this year. The quality of some things there vary day to day (e.g. the reliability of the car park payment machine) but one thing has maintained the highest standards - the AMT coffee kiosk at the York station concourse.
A great-tasting fairtrade latte (always with an extra shot) + a fresh blueberry muffin, with enough change from a fiver for a newspaper too. What really attracts me to the AMT kiosk too is the friendly, energetic style of the staff. The coffee is served instantly, always with a smile. There always seem to be at least two staff in the tiny kiosk (sometimes three) working flat out to serve a constant stream of rail passengers. The sandwich/coffee bar across the kiosk is usually empty, whilst customers prefer to take their place in the AMT queue.
So for me, the York AMT is my choice of coffee shop of 2008. Do you have a favourite?
