Unfortunately I have feeling they'll do what Arriva did to the CrossCountry trains - ditch the shop for more seats and have a trolley. It's bad enough on the smaller trains the CrossCountry routes have - but some of the West Coast trains are now 11 cars long.

It'll be interesting to see whether they will get away with getting rid of the First Class kitchen too
