Wow! If there is an advance block booking by a group, don't they know to lengthen the train?
A lot of the trains I travel on involve the guard announcements saying the trolley can't get through, shows a lot about my experience of rail travel!
Our services are booked to be a four car unit now (2x 158s), however booked and reality are two different things!
As it’s a 158, the PA handset is in the cabs of the unit so it’s upto the guard to announce these things, although on some trains (none of ours) the catering staff can do announcements.
Pacers
Now that would be a challenge to serve food and drinks on!
We’ve done it before on pacers, both of the 142 and 144 variety!
