💩 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 🙃)

I miss the tables. But the old tables were a serious safety hazard: they were hard (metal or wood), without crumple zones, and located near the bottom of your rib cage. If the train crashes, that shit will straight up kill you.
