Does anyone know if Cross Country are deploying all of their HSTs for the Summer diagrams as they used to? It was always fun seeing a GNER HST turn up in Devon.

(27 Aug 2015, 4:12 pm)8222 Is it for all classes, or just First?
It seems a far more customer-orientated service and far better than the trolley. I wonder how they are going to deliver them and what the practicalities are for service on board, especially if it's a full service (as so often the EDI-PLY route is). I still think it's a shame they did away with the shop. It was always nice to go and wander for a stretch of the legs.

(27 Aug 2015, 4:21 pm)aureolin Looks to be standard, because the food and drink is complimentary in first? It's only on the Edinburgh-Plymouth and Manchester-Bournemouth routes though.

(27 Aug 2015, 4:39 pm)8222 That's what you would think. Does anyone else offer such a service? It's going to trump a lot of operators! Smart move from Cross Country!
My only concern is how it will be carried out. A bit different, but BA started a similar choose your food before you fly service for World Traveller on a few routes. It was available on both flights I was on over the summer, and it just seemed a bit clumsy as the trays were carried out rather than put out on trollies. I hope they use a trolly or bag it, otherwise I can see food going everywhere...

(27 Aug 2015, 4:42 pm)aureolin It'll be interesting to see how it takes off. I just hope it's not to reduce the staff, as I find on board staff already seem to be at a bare minimum.
I think just about every TOC could do a lot more when it comes to catering. It's expensive and often poor quality. I generally pop into a station shop before I board, as most of them now do a meal deal of some sort, which tends to be a lot nicer! It's also a gripe of mine that they try and serve you warm 'chilled' drinks.

220012 having issues at Darlo.
It set off for Plymouth from p2, slammed breaks on and has been cutting out since.
Passengers on the platform have been told to stand clear.
But passengers on board, are being told to sit tight.
edit: Away now. No idea what the problem is/was.
