NOTES:
This is the original Pullman coach interior being fitted out as a buffet car called the Trianon Bar for the re-introduction of the Golden Arrow in 1946 for the Southern Railway London to Dover boat train. The designer was Richard Levin of the Industrial Design Unit of Bakelite Limited and it was the first all-plastics refreshment car to run on British railways.
