Trolley services have been withdrawn from Irish inter-city services since the pandemic
Iarnród Éireann is considering installing vending machines on inter-city rail services to enable passengers to buy food and drink on trains following the suspension of on-board catering services three years ago.
Documents obtained under Freedom of Information legislation show Iarnród Éireann informed the National Transport Authority last year that it had gone to the market to find a replacement provider of catering services after the existing provider experienced staffing issues and sought increased costs. As a result, Iarnród Éireann said it was looking at other options including the use of on-board vending machines.A spokesperson added: "It’s not as simple as putting a vending machine in a station. There would have to be mechanical changes to the train."
