No Buffet cars and got a feeling the shop is being removed for bike spaces and bike space area will become a trolley store.

I heard that the leasing company said that they would have to put the shop back at the end of the lease.

So they said that the shop was staying!

I think it is foolish of them to remove the shop. Cross country trains are always overcrowded it seems. People lying in the vestibules, standing in the ailes on all services.

How will a trolly get through?

Mad...

The shop is wasteful in terms of the space it takes up though, thus more space for humans and luggage.
