Passengers at Milngavie Station now have the 'moccha-tunity' to enjoy a fresh coffee on the platform, with the official opening of a great new kiosk which took place on Monday 27 November.

The coffee kiosk has come about thanks to a successful partnership between First ScotRail and JJ's Coffee Company, which is run by Jim Jenkins, a local Milngavie resident. It was officially opened by Mary Dickson, managing director of First ScotRail and Pat Steel, Provost of East Dunbartonshire.

Jim brought the idea of the kiosk, which sells coffees, teas and a range of snacks, to the train operating company, who recognised it as a good opportunity to enhance the facilities and service available for customers.

Following a successful trial, JJ's Coffee Company kiosk is open six days a week and already proving a hit with customers and First ScotRail staff alike. What's more, JJ's has a policy of employing local staff, sourcing local products wherever possible and will be putting a percentage of its profits back into the local community projects, making it an all round welcome venture.

Mary Dickson, managing director of First ScotRail, said; "This is a great addition to the station and we were delighted to support the kiosk and assist in seeing it through to a successful opening. We're looking forward to working closely with Jim to further develop the partnership and pleased that customers are benefiting from initiatives such as this."

Pat Steel, Provost of East Dunbartonshire, said; "This is a welcome enhancement to the station especially given the time of year and one which I am sure will be well used by customers."

Jim Jenkins added; "We have made a really promising start and it is good to see First ScotRail customers and staff enjoying the service we are providing. Working closely with the First ScotRail team has given us a good base on which to develop our relationship."
