From Devon Live
A football fan who was filmed cooking strips of steak with hair straighteners on a train to London could have blown the electric circuit for everyone on board the carriage, GWR has warned.
Tony Goodman, 52, was spotted onboard the 10.19am Great Western Railway service to Paddington at the weekend as he was heading to watch his West Ham team play Everton at the London Stadium.
In a video shared with CornwallLive he can be seen plugging a pair of hair straighteners into the train socket beneath his seat and using them as a makeshift grill for the marinated steak.
Describing the stunt, in which he butters slices of sourdough ready for the fresh meat, he said it was "the greatest triumph of train cooking you've ever seen".
Footage shows Tony calmly preparing the sandwich at a table seat, slicing open Lidl sourdough rolls and layering them with mayo and grated mozzarella.

In the past I have seen someone using hair straighteners for their intended purpose on a train. Quite apart from the electrics, it is an accident waiting to happen as they take time to cool down after use (I am told).
