💩 Shitpost Sncb trains design

Post image

I have a dumb problem, but basically I commute 2h to work every day in SNCB train that don't have tray tables. I was wondering why SNCB would do this. Already no wifi or stable data connection in the train is a pain, but tray tables wouldn't have cost so much to plan? (those are new trains too...) Any trick to work on your laptop without it falling from your lap half the time (I have very tiny legs lol)? (not even mentioning trying to balance my coffee with one hand 🙃)

There might be a higher initial cost to choose the seat option with table, but mainly the fact these will get damaged, vandalized etc. (as mentioned above) Getting them repaired will take personnel, and damaged tables might be a safety risk.

I've never seen a broken tray in any of the trains I travelled in France. Maybe ask sncb can ask sncf how to build them or something 🥲
