Irish Rail has confirmed that on-board catering will soon return to its carriages, three years after it was suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic
The trolley service was withdrawn as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic in early 2020 but the company confirmed the plans and said it would expand on them later this week when contacted by The Journal this evening.
Irish Rail management met with a number of Fianna Fáil TDs and senators today, with the party’s spokesperson on transport James O’Connor welcoming the resumption of catering services following the update.“It is understood the reinstatement of the service will be done on phased basis commencing with the Dublin-Cork line servicing Portlaoise, Portarlington, Thurles, Limerick Junction and Mallow,” the Cork East TD said.
Earlier this month, the semi-state confirmed that it was considering installing vending machines on inter-city rail services so that passengers could buy food and drink on trains.
