Well, it's perfectly placed in the centre of the station. There's plenty of seating. It serves food, including breakfast fairly cheaply. The beer is cheap too, even if it won't appeal to the craft ale crowd. It's attached to an Upper Crust too and I really doubt they'd mind you taking your sandwich into the bar area to eat with your pint. Plus, the staff and the locals are really friendly and helpful. Plus, they have free WiFi through The Cloud. Plus, they have sockets where you could charge your phone or laptop and maybe even get some work done. So, thanks to this bar, when I missed my connection and found myself in Preston with a dying phone battery and almost no data the situation wasn't disastrous. I ordered a pint, plugged in my phone, called home to say I'd be late and then let it charge while I browsed the net. Heroes indeed. They certainly rescued me.
