A lost burger bar chain that was located within busy train stations called Liverpool home back in the 1980s.
To one generation, the name Casey Jones will stir memories of the classic 1950s American TV show following title character Casey and his adventures as a railroad engineer. But in the 1980s, the name was known in the UK for something different entirely.
During the decade, 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 and of course, Liverpool Lime Street Station. Ran by Travellers Fare, who provided catering services on the British Rail network, the now largely forgotten fast-food chain served customers different types of burgers, as well as fries and drinks to enjoy on their journeys.
