You have a very short memory.
There's a huge difference between Network Catering and Rail Gourmet. For a start one was a massive loss maker, not helped by disinterested staff who never made than one pass through the train with the trolley, and who frequently closed up the buffet long before they were supposed to.
I can recall boarding a Dublin bound train at Ballybrophy to find that the buffet had already closed.
Sure the restaurant cars were better under Network Catering with a good range of meals but that's about it.
The customer now gets a service throughout the journey with catering trolleys making repeated passes through the train.
