The Bistro Car

Flown lately? Those cross-country flights now offer you a chance to buy a boxed-snack or a $5 beer. And we all know about the regulations of bringing food and drink through security. You can buy food in the secure areas of an airport and bring it aboard, but many airports still do not offer food much better than what comes in the snack box.

On the other hand, it may not be home cooking, but railway food is better. And you can get up and purchase it when you want it, not when the trolley is wheeled down the aisle. Food service on our future high speed train will not be the dining cars of your, with china and silver, and probably not a dedicated dining car, as on some German high speed trains:

Regardless, the whole travel experience will outdo a flight by a factor of many.
