It reads: "In line with feedback from customers and the increasing demand for vegan options, we are now offering vegan and gluten-free food on board our trains."

The new options include vegan cake bars and a Pickle Me Up sandwich, which features vegetables and plant-based cheese.

The sandwich is part of Urban Eat's line of pre-made sandwiches and wraps, a number of which are vegan.

CrossCountry

CrossCountry, which debuted in 2007, operates throughout much of England, but not in the Greater London area.

The company offers intercity and other long-route trips to travellers.

CrossCountry's addition of vegan options follows that of US rail giant Amtrak, which debuted plant-based options last April.
