@brianbilston I was just in a provincial town last night with my phone dying twice! But I had a power bank with me, and the train I ended up on had sockets between the seats.

@AndrewShields Good for you. I always find that it’s in the moments when I most need a plug, that all the plug sockets disappear.

@brianbilston The German trains are pretty good about having sockets by now. They're just getting worse about being on time.

@AndrewShields That seems very unGerman-like.

@brianbilston Privatization, less investment in maintenance of trains and tracks, personnel shortages = trains not running, not arriving on time.

@AndrewShields Ah, sounds a familiar story.
