In a few weeks time I'm doing another First Class All Line Rover. Is it valid for use in Chiltern's Business Zone carriage?

It's hardly worth walking to the end of the platforms for though (Moor St. especially).

It was significantly downgraded when Chiltern axed their catering. Now you just get a selection of cold drinks and snacks. And a bigger seat.

I did it when I had an all-line 1st class ticket. But mainly just because I could!

I'm using as a way of getting an early start and heading northwards to Birmingham, plus hopefully loco hauled.
Thank you everyone for the advice.

I didn't think you even got that now.
Business Zones are only loco pushed from Birmingham and don't run all day. Last time I wandered in there (2+ months ago) a wooden crate was put on each table with, I think, 2 bottles of juice and a cold pre-wrapped croissant. They get so few passengers in there the guards are on your case immediately through boredom and are dismayed when you produce a 1st season ticket.

My only motivation for using Chiltern to get to London is to experience Marylebone for a change and see the views on the way down.
