Irish rail introducing own brand keep cups as passengers cannot use their own onboard

A spokesperson for Irish Rail has confirmed that it does not allow customers to use their own keep cups to purchase hot beverages on intercity trains.

Jane Creegan told RTÉ radio’s Today with Séan O’Rourke show that it was an issue of health and safety for both customers and staff. Keep cups come in different sizes with different closing mechanisms and they might not fit under the spout on the catering trolley, she explained.
