This continued through the day, lots of long HST▸ journeys without buffet cars, TM‡ on the 1551 Paddington to Worcester apologised, but there was a trolley of light refreshments in carriage E.
Train was an HST as booked but completely missing the buffet carriage.

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

Is this because rather belatedly they are off for refurbishment? Or because the withdrawal program is still on. |

With stock in short supply EVEN HST▸ 's it was madness for FGW▸ to think up 2+7 and 2+8 buffetet fleets of HST's.
Operational needs will keep causing 2+7 sets to work to Penzance and other long journeys whilst Buffet Cars will be slowing down the Bristol/Cardiff 2+7 timed trains.
It's far better to have a Buffet on EVERY HST, put in Standard seats in Buffet Car F!!

Why is this going on? Is it that they are sending off the remaining buffets for refurbing?

Afraid not, the buffet removal is still on, a new staff briefing booklet has been issued, dated Feb 2008! |
