Buffets on Up (to Melbourne)

After the buffet has
closed...
The buffet on all up services
closes between 20-40 minutes upon arrival into Southern Cross so
that the conductor operating the buffet can stock take, clean
utensils and appliances, and prepare the food and drinks to be
offloaded upon arrival into Southern Cross.
 Upon arrival into
Southern Cross, if the set is not returning on another train with a
buffet service available, the food and drinks are removed from the
buffet by both the buffet conductor and another employee, who drives
a small vehicle equipped to cater for food and drinks to be taken to
their off train storage location.
This process occurs in the reverse order when the buffet module is
required to have food and drinks moved into it to provide a buffet
for a down service.
