Enterprise trolley service - southerners being ripped off?
I was looking at the IE site and pricing for Enterprise catering based off a discussion about train food pricing on another board and noticed the file name included "2008". Hmm sez I.
The STG-EUR differential on the menu is about 1.40 whereas the current exchange is about 1.12. I put it down to IE incompetence until I saw the same prices on Translink. Can anyone confirm that this pricing remains in effect, and maybe have a whisper to the SBP if we're all still friends about this potential "ripoff Ireland" story? |

Mark was quoted about this in the Sunday Times last month, in fact.

Ah - I didn't see anything on the media or news sections so thought it might not be on the RUI radar.

Its just hard to get a digital copy of the Sunday Times. Jan Battles is the journalist, Sunday 7th or 13th not sure which
The price list on the Translink website is out of date, note how some items have different conversion ratios We are working on a very special project about Enterprise more details in a few months, but its going to be very special

I see this practice is still going on and they are making a bigger profit than people think. The drink is from the North too so they buy it at a lower VAT rate than here. Next time im paying in Sterling.
