I speak as one who has witnessed such tea- and coffee-loading at strange hours on strange trains in the metre-gauge era.<BR/><BR/>And thus I reveal my half-life. <BR/><BR/>But seriously, if there is no pantry car and there IS a stove, is it being lit in some regular passenger-filled compartment?

I am thinking that they have a pantry car, but since the only profitable thing to sell in an overnight train full of Gults and Digas is coffee, that is the only thing these guys make. <BR/>Unless, you have made a trip along the train and ascertained the absence of a pantry car?Shwetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17116247797970270366noreply@blogger.com
