No water, no cash but more bicycles on our trains

Irish Rail is in the process of resuming the trolley service on its InterCity trains.

But the new service is cashless. What happens if a passenger orders a coffee and sandwich and then explains they have no cards, only cash?

Yesterday, a warm day across Ireland, the trolley service on the 16.25 Cork Dublin train had no water for passengers. The trolley attendant explained to passengers he had run out of bottled water.

For the moment Irish Rail has no plans to reopen its dining cars. 

The company is currently  testing refigured coaches, which can carry extra bicycles on its InterCity railcars.
