**There are food options within walking distance, but I’d buy supplies on the train for a 24-minute connection.** Here’s what I could verify:

- **At the station:** a December 2012 traveller report mentions drink and snack vending machines in the waiting room. Their current availability is unconfirmed; the [official station page](https://transportnsw.info/stop?q=10101830) lists no café or shop. [Older traveller report](https://travel.stackexchange.com/questions/11019/is-there-anywhere-at-near-casino-station-where-you-can-buy-food-when-changing-b).
- **Evans Corner Store, 30 Barker Street:** the same older report puts it about **300 metres/four minutes’ walk** away. A [business directory still lists it](https://www.localbusinessguide.com.au/listing/evans-corner-store-n3av3j/), with telephone **(02) 6662 6250**, but I couldn’t confirm current opening hours or food offerings. Call ahead before relying on it.
- **McDonald’s, corner of Canterbury and Centre Streets:** approximately **800 metres**, according to that older walking estimate. The council’s **September 2025 dining guide** lists opening hours of **6am–11pm daily**, plus 24-hour takeaway.

McDonald’s would use most of your connection time just walking there and back. If you arrive early, check with the coach driver before leaving the station; otherwise, stock up at the buffet before arrival.
