I still prefer their sobriquet, the Trundling Trenchermen ...   And looking back through this thread to when you first used that sobriquet, I quite like my response: 'bumbling bon viveurs'.  |

It's very tempting just for the hell of it to board it at Swindon one day and head into South Wales just to try it out. It's around 10 years since I did lunch on the up SW Pullman and very good that was.
I can think of no better reason than "for the hell of it." Go for it. You won't be disappointed. |

I now declare 'sobriquet' to be my word for the day on this forum. |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

Full Welsh Breakfast: Bacon, sausage, Welsh black pudding, Glamorgan 'sausage', fried egg on fried bread, mushrooms, beans. I forewent the grilled tomato. Me not like I recognise this as being the only positive item posted to the FGW▸ facebook wall! |

Following a word from bignosemac the FGW▸ website has been updated to show the Welsh breakfast is officially available for customers joining up to and including Swindon, while on the return trip the brunch is available to Cardiff Central.

Opportunity for a late lunch from 1400 ex Plymouth, and likely a return working for London based TC‡.

Interesting. No catering mess room or FGW▸ Rail Gourmet facilities at Reading as far as I'm aware. Were the kitchen modules also unloaded at Reading?
Perhaps the chef lives in the Reading area and is permitted to start and/or finish his/her shift there.

2 Pullmans in the past few days. The 06:55 Plymouth - London Paddington Working Start with Coffee and Orange Juice (with bits in  )  The Menu:  Starter Course - Natural Yogurt with Dorset Cereals and Honey:  Main: Spinach on Fried Bread, Potato filled spicy thing in Breadcrumbs, Egg, Mushrooms & Tomato (Declined the tomato as I am partly allergic)  And finally... What a way to start the day:   The service was fantastic and the food delicious. The Chef I believe was Plymouth Based ex Traveling Chef guy who has served me much food over time. Sadly due to a very high state of Anxiety I was unable to finish the main breakfast course. The crew were quite concerned that I hadn't finished but i assured them nothing was wrong with the food. Will post Return working on 19:00 over the course of the day. |
