FGW Micro Buffet

I saw for the first time last night one of FGW's reformed sets which
includes the newly-converted Coach F micro-buffet.. [Time was I would have
known all about things like this, but I'd forgotten, or maybe never know,
about it and so the sight took me by surprise. ] How long have they been
around?

Seems like a very sensible develpment - gives almost a full extra coach of
Standard seats - a 2+8 set now has almost 6 full Standard vehicles - with
the loss of just a few of the least attractive and least used First Class
seats. Obviously the kitchen facilities are gone too - but these are
scarcely used nowadays given trainloads of laptop slaves and mobile
junkies - and presumably some sets will retain the old buffets to cater for
what's left of the travelling leisured classes..

A vast improvement over the absurd idea of providing e a static trolley in
the converted toilets in the Quiet Coach [Quiet Coach, note!]. I wonder
whether,  having deprived a whole coach of the only such facilities in
favour of a service almost never provided, they'll now re-convert them..
