- Pantry Car:
- A pantry car is a dedicated coach attached to long-distance trains.
- It has a kitchen where meals are prepared and served to passengers during the journey.
- Pantry cars ensure fresh, hot meals but are limited to specific trains.
- On-Board Catering:
- On-board catering involves vendors serving pre-packed meals and snacks directly to passengers.
- This service is available on trains without pantry cars.
- It offers a variety of food options sourced from base kitchens or local vendors.
Both services aim to enhance passenger comfort, with pantry cars providing freshly cooked meals and on-board catering offering convenience and variety.
