Can you imagine the colossal screw up if the V-2 diners have 2 or 3 different configurations ? Make interchanging diners impossible without downgrading that train's diner service. IMHO it just does not make sense ?????

Make interchanging diners impossible without downgrading that train's diner service. IMHO it just does not make sense ?????Although there have been many reports of plans for a single food service car which would be a retrofitted V-2 with the addition of a take-out window, I haven't heard of any actually being done. People have said they have seen plans but that may be all they have done.
I wish they could come up with a solution to the accessibility issue since they have lost 1 1/2 tables just for the possibility that a wheelchair might appear. Although designed for 48 passenger capacity, they are now way below that due to the removal of these six seats and of course the usual crew personal items table and the other setup table. With the upcoming new dining car policy, they really need to think about how they can increase capacity.
That is the modification they need: a convertible table for accessibility and storage for setups and the crew's personal items.
I can't recall what train I was on but I do remember a diner with cubbyholes between the seat backs that held all of the setups and condiments.
