I've just heard that the institution that is/was The Dining Car is almost at an end!

East Coast Mainline have called last-orders on theirs -- so no more 1st Class for the price of a meal. They are to offer an 'at seat' meal for full paying First Class only.... 

It's quite sad really. I quite liked the old-world romance of eating a proper meal on a train. Never mind arriving into Newcastle/York slightly the better for a bottle of red and a steak.

Apparently the only operator still running a proper Dining Car is First Great Western, to Plymouth.

So: we need a client based in Devon please.
