'WAG Express'/'Gerald'

[yorkie]

Does anyone have a seating plan for Arriva Trains Wales' 'WAG Express' please?

I found this from December 2011. Is that current? I suspect Mk2 coaches were in use then, while Mk3s are in use now, so probably not..!

I see there are 5 menus in business/1st class. Does anyone know which menu applies on any given week?

Also, what if 10 of us make a trip one day - will they have enough stock if there's about twice the normal passenger loadings?

Has anyone done this train recently, or is there anyone else wanting to do a trip this Spring/Summer?

I'd imagine if you let them know in advance they would load enough stock

I'm told they base food loading off of the seat reservations, so if you've all booked ahead you'll be fine for the food.

Some days on the evening train loadings in first class can be quite high, so try to book as soon as possible.

The "WAG Express" has always used a mark 3 first class/catering carriage, though, even when it was formed of mark 2s. There are no mark 2 full kitchen vehicles. I'm not sure how the subsequent refurbishment (when the mark 3 TSOs were introduced) might have changed things, though.

I managed to find the seating layout.

Still some seats available for our trip in Summer if anyone wants to join us. So far we have just over half the seats booked!
