Without going too far off topic - yes I'd love to but it isn't practical in this case.

It would quite a sight seeing BobM on his surfboard cresting the Atlantic Rollers.  |

One of the HSTs▸ arriving at Newquay today then runs back empty to Paddington The above referred to yesterday (8/8), but there is also an ECS▸ (5C92) running Newquay back to Paddington today, leaving at around 1230. It's shown as non-stop between Plymouth and Reading in 2hrs 38 mins! |

Might be a better option than what I am doing. Stuffing 1,000 envelopes with various items, sticking stamps on and then filling every postbox within a one mile radius.
Mission accomplished  And I think I made the right decision to come home Sunday night.  |

Except that the buffet is closed so no ale or three!

Suspect you are probably correct.
This service started at Plymouth and I did have a quick look as I got off at Swindon and there was still quite a bit left despite the train manager making announcements about the lack of catering staff and telling passengers there was water and light snacks available.

Good to hear people practicing restraint and only taking what they would consume so others can have something further into the train's journey.
