A lost burger bar chain that opened in busy train stations called Manchester home back in the 1980s.
To many, the name Casey Jones will stir memories of the classic 1950s American TV show. But around 40 years ago, the name was known in the UK for something entirely different.
In the 1980s, British Rail's fast food outlets called Casey Jones Burgers started to pop up in train stations across the country, from London Euston, Waterloo and Kings Cross to Glasgow, Liverpool Lime Street Station and Manchester Piccadilly. Operated by Travellers Fare, who provided catering services on the British Rail network, the fast-food chain, known for its signature burgers, fries and drinks, is now largely forgotten.
