Post by: martyjon on October 27, 2007, 12:04:00 1733 Paddington - Paignton was formed: Coach A (refurb), B (nice seats), C (Re), D (Re), E (Re), F (Re), G (Re), H (Re), F (re) I make that 9 carriages with 2 buffet cars! The coach F at the rear was probably there to serve the pampered few in first class their free teas and coffees and whatever and the apple turnovers, flapjacks, fruit cake slices to sustain them on their (most probably extended) journey to Paignton to be met by their chauffers to convey them to their ^1 million pound second homes in the " Bay" area.
