buffet car

"I came across the buffet car which was almost full, but I managed to get in there as the last person," said Astrid.

He said he was determined to confront the attacker to give another passenger time to close the door of the buffet car, where other passengers had gathered.

As people ran to the buffet car he said he wanted to make sure passengers were safe.

"Not once in the 11-hour journey did we have any official announcement... we just had a rumour mill from drivers to the buffet car."

Passengers will benefit from "best experience in the market" with bigger seats, more legroom, increased luggage space and a buffet car on every service, according to Grand Union Trains.
