Pop-up cafes would also be a great idea in old station buildings along Rail Trails.

The problem is that most stations on Rail Trail routes have been demolished or (if they are lucky) relocated.

Last year I went on a ride from Nyora. It would have been a much nice ride if I had a nice coffee and breakfast at the start of the ride, Lunch at Bena (or if I was fitter, Korumburra) and then ride back for a nice afternoon tea back at Nyora.

Defunct station buildings are the perfect size for a proper cafe or restaurant, and already have a large paved alfresco area for diners; especially on rail-trails or heritage railways.
