I'm not particularly bothered either way, but may help with my breakfast planning..

I'm booked on the 1000 Sheffield to Derby EMR service on 31st May. Due to engineering works, it's terminating at Bedford.

It's running as 1C35 so probably the normal intercity trains they'd use all the way to St Pancras, but terminating early.

Their 1st class page alludes to this:

Engineering work will be taking place during various weekends between March and June. This will also affect the Saturday First Class offers and customers will not be provided with the cold breakfast/all day sandwiches. This will be replaced with an ambient boxed offer, see example below -

  • Breakfast box
    St Pierre croissant, pot of strawberry jam, fat free yogurt, granola bar, knife & spoon, and napkin.
But given 1st class catering is normally only offered on their St Pancras services, I'm unsure if this means they'll be dishing out brekkie boxes or not, given we're not going to STP.

My hunch is that they will be offering it?

I'd expect they probably will be offering them, as these are the St Pancras services, just happen to not be going all the way.

Mmm, an ambient box.
Yeah it doesn't exactly tingle the tastebuds, but equally if I know I'm going to be fed what's basically the same amount of food I'd normally have for breakfast, I won't bother picking anything up at the station.
