The National Transport Authority are being questioned on when they will reinstate catering services on all Irish Rail intercity routes. The service, which was suspended during the Covid-19 pandemic, has not yet been fully restored.

Senator Mark Duffy has called for this service to be reinstated saying “Passengers travelling long distances across the country deserve basic amenities, and catering should not be regarded as a luxury and is seen as a standard service on rail across Europe.”

We want to know, how has your experience with Irish rail been recently? Were you recently on a train where you didn’t receive any food or drink?

Joining Andrea to discuss is Chair of Galway Commuters Coalition, Lochlann Gallagher, Corporate Communications Manager with Irish Rail, Barry Kenny and listeners.
