FGW^▸ Passed the Egg Bap test with flying colours Grin

I looked through the menu on my way to work on Friday, It doesn't explicitly say Egg Bap, but if you ask nicely enough... They will make you one...! I have to say it was so good that I was tempted to order another one... Grin

Also, it was brought to my seat on a plate with cutlery...!

The travelling chef does a "propper" burger, the microwaved ones are strangely satisfying I find?

So much for the new booking system for restaurant seats!
I purchased a first open single from Paddington at the new improved price, and telephoned customers services to book a seat in the restaurant on the Golding Hind last friday.
No booking had been made for me, and this being a very popular service I was lucky to get a seat in the restaurant.
Others who had also booked were less fortunate.

As is usual, the food, drink, and service were of a very high standard, my thanks to any FGW^▸ restaurant staff reading this.
The rack of lamb was especialy enjoyable, despite my preference for steak.

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.

I have had the opportunity now to have tried a few different items from the Travelling Chef menu and I have been mightily impressed. I've had the breakfast platter in 1st class and it was delicious (I do wonder however how easy this would be to eat out of a cardboard box in a STD airline seat!). The freshly prepared sandwiches are great and worth the extra cost compared with the buffet sandwich offerings. I'm also impressed that weekday TC^‡ trains are now rarely not run as advertised. The problem with TC in the past was that it was so hit and miss. I will miss the Pullman breakfast service up from South Wales but I fully understand FGW^▸ withdrawing it (and the other Pullmans) if they were making a loss.

If I plan to be travelling at meal times I now look out for TC services.....anything to avoid the god-awful microwave cheeseburger.
