A commuter who launched a campaign to save the future of the buffet car on a county train route has gained hundreds more supporters.

Steve Blair, 58, from Grove, set up Facebook group #savethebuffet after learning First Great Western’s plans to introduce new trains in 2017 did not include a buffet car. On Friday the group has 2,300.

FGW hopes to introduce a system where passengers can electronically order refreshments from their seats.
