Denmark’s national rail operator DSB has been experimenting with selling snacks on its trains again, after doing away with its refreshment carts in 2014.
After recently testing sales of coffee and nuts on a number of trains, DSB is considering a plan to add a snack selection, to be sold from a stationary stand that passengers would walk to, similar to Amtrak’s U.S. system. There are no plans to restore the rolling carts.
The carts were scrapped because they weren’t turning a profit, but results in the limited test were encouraging. The new stands would add marzipan bars and possibly a few other items. That might include a Danish, which, of course, the Danes don’t call by that name. To them, it’s a wienerbrod, or Vienna bread.
