Do trains have USB ports?

0 views

Ugh, trying to find a USB port on a train is a nightmare! Ive been on so many where the power sockets are ancient three-pin things, completely useless without an adapter. Its infuriating! Sometimes I find a USB – hallelujah! – but its usually tucked away in the most inconvenient spot, often under a seat. Seriously, train companies, get with the times! Decent, easily accessible power and USB ports are essential in this day and age.

Ugh, tell me about it! Trying to find a USB port on a train? It’s like searching for a needle in a haystack. One time, I swear, I was on a train from London to Edinburgh – a long journey, right? – and my phone was dying. Panic stations! I crawled around, looking under seats, behind those little fold-down tables…nothing. Just those clunky old three-pronged power sockets. Who even uses those anymore? Don’t get me started! I ended up having to ration my phone battery, like it was some precious wartime commodity. Seriously ridiculous.

Then, another time – I think it was a CrossCountry train – I actually did find a USB port! I was so relieved, you wouldn’t believe. But guess where it was? Tucked away under the seat, practically on the floor. I had to contort myself into some crazy yoga position just to plug my phone in. Why?! It’s like they’re deliberately trying to hide them.

I mean, come on, train companies! It’s 2024 (or whenever you’re reading this!). We live in a digital age. Everyone needs to charge their phones, tablets, laptops… everything. Having decent, easy-to-find USB ports should be standard. It’s not rocket science, is it? Just put them somewhere sensible, like, I don’t know, on the table maybe? Just a thought. It would make such a difference to the passenger experience. It’s the little things, you know?
