Abstract	British Rail, confronted with mounting deficits and aging equipment, has had to make some basic decisions about food service on its trains. It was necessary to identify the role of such activity on various classes of trains and a marketing survey indicated the average person's catering requirements. The recommendations have been implemented in full-service dining cars, conventional buffet cars and the buffet facilities on the new High Speed Trains.
