Sad to report that the french van has been removed from the station forecourt.

Reports of vandalism/theft on this forum may have played a part.

I would think it unlikely that your previous comment triggered anything - after all, it was reporting on something that had happened multiple times previously and was clearly known about.

Quote
A ‘beloved’ Reading coffee van selling fresh pastries and cakes has been forced to closed following four devastating break-ins.

Located at Tilehurst Train Station, Wolesley Street Bakery coffee van was a popular stop for people heading to the station.

Following the break-in at the beginning of January, the owners decided to close the van on January 9, 2024.

The latest theft was the ‘most damaging one yet’ which involved thieves using an angle grinder to go through the lock and hinges of the van where they stole the coffee machine and grinder.

This morning I collected a friend from Tilehurst Station and noticed that the Wolseley Street Bakery was back with a pop-up gazebo, one side of which was filled by the back of a small van with its rear doors open so coffee etc could be dispensed from it.
