Iarnród Éireann has commenced the process to tender for a new on-board catering contract, after its current catering provider advised it was no longer able to continue providing the service on its Intercity network https://t.co/jhrqcniVQP

This morning.
In a statement this morning, Iarnród Éireann said despite the best efforts of both it and catering provider Rail Gourmet, services would not be able to resume.
Given this, on-board catering is now unlikely to be available until “at least early 2023“.
On-board catering was halted during the pandemic, and since the lifting of face-covering regulations last February the company says it has been coping with staffing issues and other additional costs.
Catering services will remain suspended on all Intercity network trains.

The state of that toast.
No wonder they’re not making any money.
Perhaps that’s why they’re so stingy with the milk.
Actually it’s more likely because you and Fat Tart need the two extra seats while travelling on your free passes
Ever tasted their rotten food
Disgusting pre packed plastic sandwiches and prices that a Michelin star restuarant would charge
Inedible muck
No more rubber sandwiches, sugary over-priced danishes and crap coffee… what will we do…
… bring back the half-cooked burgers from the auld days…
Great headline as ever maestro …

Ta, Terry!
May I also humbly suggest!
1/Don’t mess with my toot-toot!
Or
2/Pardon me boys is that the Chatta-no-go chew chew?
Scrap the kitchen car and provide and vending machine & additional seats. There can’t be too many train journeys exceeding 3 hours anymore. I’m sure people would survive.

Irish Rail’s gourmet dining has ceased
No-more need for their pan to be greased.
They’re no longer on track!
To deliver a snack
That’s the end of this moveable feast.
hehehehehehehe
Excellent Thanks
We will just have to roll with it
Wonder who will get the new contract. Ara, Mark might know….
Heard it here first
I’d say you’re spot on Kim.
The Tea Lady Vanishes…
I remember getting the “Ulster fry” on the early Enterprise up to Belfast. Lovely way to start the day.
Isn’t that a different operator?… to Belfast.
And yes, they have a v good “business class” (is it?) service with a proper fry.
Used to have to do that run fairly regular, and enjoyed it on the company dime :)
