Is there anywhere at/near Casino station where you can buy food, when changing between the CountryLink bus and train?
If you take the daytime CountryLink train from Sydney to Brisbane, it somewhat annoyingly turns into a pumpkin at Casino.... At Casino, you have to change to a bus to continue your journey onwards to Brisbane via Byron Bay and Surfers Paradise.
While on the train, there's a pretty decent buffet service, serving hot food, snacks, a very nice afternoon tea etc. On the bus, nothing :( And no refreshment stops either.
If the train isn't running early, the timetable shows a 24 minute wait between leaving the train and getting the bus. I believe the train is often early into Casino, so you'd often have longer.
Is there currently anywhere either in the station, or a short walk from it, which'd do a quick bite to eat/drink/takeaway? Be that a cafe, pub, shop etc?

Well, I am not the expert in Australia, but I love playing with Google Maps. Anyway after some playing I got this corner store which is 300 meters away, 4 minutes walking (I suppose it sells food because my search query was food):
Also, there is a McDonald's 800 meters away (9 minutes walking) which seems risky since you will have 24 minutes.. if you arrive earlier this will be a good option:

We took the longest train ride in the UK (it was hell)
