Four mains and four USB ports for three seats, someone took this really seriously. (All while most other cd carriages have often just like one plug per 4 seats if any.)

@pony ICEs are one plug per two seats.

@Alon with Czech railways it usually depend on the mood and supplier of whoever did the retrofit, when it’s new long distance ish rolling stock, it tends to be a plug per two seats as well, however, shockingly enough, commercial open access ops almost always go for a plug per seat because it doesn’t cost much more and people like it

@pony I think when I rode the TGV there were no outlets in second at all? Or maybe it was some trainsets but not others? Cc @jon

@Alon @pony depends on the age of the TGV. New ones: yes. Renovated old ones: yes. Medium age non renovated: no.

@jon @pony I want to say something about how at least the no-outlet trip was short, but actually it was a six hour Paris-Nice trip, with obligatory classical line delays.

@Alon @pony you think SNCF would think about this? You’re a customer, Alon 😉

@jon @pony They do, they want an LGV there, it's just hamstrung by NIMBYs and high construction costs.
