Probably in a buffet car that is being scrapped.

More seriously, might it be worth merging this thread with the other major thread about catering ?

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▸ (Diesel Multiple Unit) is not a proper inter-city train. The 5+5 and 9 car DMUs are almost as bad.

Many thanks WP. Inside, I found a bacon baguette, packet of Tyrells crisps, pack of shortbread, and someone who wanted to know where the trolley was.
