Description
The open second with miniature buffet was introduced on services where limited light refreshments only were needed, or where it would have been impractical to have a full restaurant/kitchen car serve snacks and uneconomic to have a normal buffet car as well as a restaurant car. The layout is similar to a normal open second but the buffet occupies the space of two seating bays and divides the coach into two saloons of four and two bays, the latter being non-smoking. End and centre doors are provided. The only difference between the two diagrams is the original provision of B1 (D98) or Commonwealth (D99) bogies.
