In reply to the suggestion about everyone one having their own carriage, if you catch the 0447 from Bristol Templemeads to Paddington, you may well have a carriage to yourself, at least part of the way.

Food smells don't bother me that much on trains, but then I'm a morning person who is hungry at 0447.

Turning this whole idea on its head, I'd like to see how much support there is for my idea of a "free food" carriage...  Wink

Now that's an idea that has my support. But please not microwave cheeseburgers. I ain't eaten one since I found pieces of bone in one. I'd rather go hungry than accept one gratisSmiley

Well you can get half price food on the whole train if HSTs (High Speed Train) are on their last journey before going to the depot and htey still have stuff to sell  Wink
