Abstract
The Vegan Society is calling on UK train companies to improve catering for vegans travellers this summer, as part of its Vegan on the Go campaign.

To get involved, the national charity is encouraging supporters to contact rail companies and ask them to offer vegan food and drink options on-board.

 

It has already targeted companies including East Midlands Trains, Transpennine Express and Great Western Railway.

 

Louise Davies, head of campaigns, policy and research explained: “Last year, The Vegan Society’s survey found out that 80% of vegans often go hungry on-board trains.

 

“We would like more options than a packet of ready salted crisps on a long journey, and would love for train companies to hop on board and help us to make vegan travel plain sailing.

 

“We’d love to see at least one savoury and one sweet vegan food option as well as plant milk being offered on-board trains.

 

“We’re more than happy to offer advice and resources to companies wishing to improve their vegan offering.”

Should companies wish to participate or request more information, they can email campaigns@vegansociety.com.
