Which train service am I on? #5 (in the siding)

Okay, here we go:

On Monday of last week, RobbieM found himself on a train. He was wearing (amongst other attire) a black hat and a black coat, but no sunglasses. He was carrying two rucksacks, the larger of which contained (amongst other items) a pack of three whisky miniatures, and a lump of cheese.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to discover which train was I on, and why?

(Okay - ignore the 'why' bit for now - that may come later if you're interested).

So, 20 questions as usual - and I've already told you that it's a weekday. Fire away!

Aye, it most definitely does! (That's a "yes", by the way...)

  • The whisky miniatures were "Grants", incidentally.

Not unless it's delayed. It didn't last Monday.

(So that's a "No" then.)

Yes, it was. (Though the ticket I was travelling on wasn't eligible for the discount.)
