Graham Coombs left this review about Platform Bar

A nice little recreation of a station refreshment room with simple furnishings inside and a few tables on the platform. The five handpumps included 2 from Loch Lomond, Consett Steeltown and Happydaze Welsh cider. Very useful if travelling by train obviously, but not really worth a special trip.

Neat little refreshment room/micropub on Platform 2 and easily accessible from the main station entrance. Opening in 2019 and it’s clearly a modern interior but a fair attempt at a bit of tradition - cream and blush red trim plus an antique till and the inevitable railway memorabilia on the walls. Note that the toilets are at the other end of the platform. Room for no more than 30 so a squeeze on a busy Saturday I’d imagine. A bit slouchy on the service front and a fairly flat atmosphere, what with a quiet room's ambience interrupted by a tinny local radio's output from the kitchen. Three cask over five with a cider also, sourced from small local breweries. My Muckle Tickle was fair, if a bit aged and just about got a GBG pass (NBSS 3). Probably didn’t see it at its best, but staff make the atmosphere in these kind of places when they’re quiet. 6.5

Real Ale Ray left this review about Platform Bar

A very handy one room bar which benefits some of the locals who pop in, train passengers, and also receives small groups of people visiting here as a destination pub/bar. Along with a choice of three ales and one cider on our visit, this bar also offers teas, coffees, homemade cakes, hot and cold sandwiches etc.
We too met a friendly lady working behind the bar, who made good conversation with a few of us. The beer line up was Twice Brewed Sycamore Gap, Twice Brewed Ale Caesar along with Firebrick Brewery Toon Broon.
