Yep - that is one of the economy trailers missing - with the current configuration of the train,
it would be very difficult to remove any other carriage - removal of car B would reduce the
luggage capacity of the train (the 'XL' cars have lock-up luggage storage at the country end) and
reduce the first class seating capacity to 48 in day usage and just 21 in overnight usage.

Hope this helps,
