Irish Rail have confirmed that catering services will begin to resume in April after being suspended for three years.
Carriage Food Services will provide a trolley service on selected services on the Cork to Dublin route from early April, building to all Cork-Dublin services within weeks. The company is a sister company of CCSL (N.), who currently also provide catering services on board the Dublin to Belfast Enterprise service under a separate contract.
Irish Rail said the move will result in 50% of intercity customers, including the Dublin-Belfast Enterprise, having on-board catering services as the Cork to Dublin route also serves the vast majority of customers travelling to and from Kerry (changing at Mallow) and Limerick (changing at Limerick Junction).
