Yes, Jess was a great 'lively one'.
As was our active female Coffee Shop forum member at that time: I won't mention her name here ... but she will know who she is, if she ever views this topic.

That would've been Jess. She was a lively one!

My only experience of hot drinks in cups on a moving train is when a member of the Coffee Shop forum inadvertently tipped her coffee across the table into my lap. I was rather glad, at the time, that it wasn't still cauldron hot.
That particular incident, I recall, caused JayMac's dog at that time to scamper off up the aisle: it took all of us some time to retrieve her.
No particular repercussions, as I reassured our rather embarrassed female fellow traveller: I was wearing black trousers, so at least it didn't appear in public like I'd wet myself.

My requirement for (other peoples) cups is that they are suitable for wedging the windows shut on North Downs Line trains. Can make yourself all sorts of new "friends" when you do.

Which insulated cups are better at keeping your drinks hot?
Ah - but I don't WANT my drink kept warm on the train. Where do I want the drink? Typically between London and Swindon/Chippenham/Westbury and I am often put off a purchase because the trolley arrives for the first (only) time in the journey far too late, leaving me with the option of foregoing a drink or trying to handle a container of still-very-hot liquid as I change trains and perhaps manage steps
So I make the case - on train catering if we MUST play the "wait the trolley" game - for a cup which is insulated enough not to burn, but enough lacking in insulation so we can finish our drink before we get [there].
