SUBSCRIBEAfter a gap of three years, a catering trolley is to reappear on the Cork-Dublin train, a welcome reminder that we live in the 21st century after all.
Suspended due to the pandemic, the trolley service will resume on selected Cork to Dublin trains in early April and is expected to be extended to all services on the route in the following weeks.
