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.
The State-owned railway company is examining the use of vending machines on its mainline rail network as an option to complement the possible return of on-board trolley services which were withdrawn as a result of the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in early 2020.
However, an Iarnród Éireann spokesperson said vending machines were not being seen as an alternative to the return of a trolley service on inter-city trains.
