The charters and scenic cruises quickly proved popular, and in June 1992 the Group purchased unpowered centre car M59250. This entered service in November 1992, making the DMU a 3-car unit including buffet facilities. 1993 saw the introduction of the Saturday evening ‘fish & chips’ rail cruises.
The popularity of the buffet led to a demand for more formal catering. Initially this comprised a full dining service of 8 covers in the first class salon saloon of M52064, cooked in a kitchen measuring four by three feet!
In June 1992 the Group had purchased powered car M51935 as a source of spares for the 2-car unit. However it was soon converted into a catering vehicle, with a full size kitchen in the brake compartment, a bar lounge in the smaller passenger compartment and seating for 20 diners in the larger passenger compartment. Between 1993 and 1996 the DMU ran as a rather unconventional 4-car unit including 3 powered cars.
