Used to cold sandwiches and overpriced snacks on trains back home, George was left speechless when he received a piping hot meal mid-journey. He couldn’t help but say, “The UK needs to take notes!” And honestly, we agree.

George Buckley’s video shows him placing a food order via a mobile app during his Indian Railways ride. In what felt like a blink, a delivery person handed over a hot, restaurant-style meal through the train window during a short stop. His disbelief turned to delight as he opened the package to find a hearty meal of butter chicken, naan, and rice.
