I appreciate that I asked people to fill in acronyms in another thread, then failed to do so in my post of congratulation; gives me another chance to congratulate Mark. |

Cancelled Buffet Equipment? Paul Cancelled Buffet Enjoyment perhaps. Despite the badly downgraded catering, I still congratulate Mr Hopwood on this award. |

A proper intercity train has a minimum of 8 coaches, gangwayed throughout, with first at one end, and a full sized buffet car between first and standard.
It has space for cycles, surfboards,luggage etc.
A 5 car DMU▸ is not a proper inter-city train. The 5+5 and 9 car DMUs are almost as bad.

There is an interesting article on the career (so far) of Mark Hopwood in the latest Railway Magazine with part two to come next month. Well worth a read.

In addition to the Railway Magazine articles are the INTUITIVE INSIGHT podcasts run by Nina Lockwood. Number 10 features Mark Hopwood and can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbtgPhwcjZMIt lasts for 47 minutes. There are a number of others which feature railway people, such as Nigel Harris and Chris Green. |
