Ich habe ein dummes Problem, aber im Grunde pendle ich jeden Tag 2 Stunden zur Arbeit in einem SNCB-Zug, der keine Tabletttische hat. Ich habe mich gefragt, warum SNCB das tun würde. Schon jetzt ist kein WLAN oder keine stabile Datenverbindung im Zug ein Ärgernis, aber die Planung von Tabletttischen hätte nicht so viel gekostet? (Das sind auch neue Züge…) Gibt es einen Trick, um an Ihrem Laptop zu arbeiten, ohne dass er Ihnen die Hälfte der Zeit vom Schoß fällt (ich habe sehr kleine Beine, lol)? (Ganz zu schweigen davon, dass ich versuche, meinen Kaffee mit einer Hand auszubalancieren 🙃)

Sit in a 2×2 seat ? If u need a table that bad, it’s understandable to sit alone in a 2×2 imo.
I would assume cost and maintenance are still big factors to not add these. Vandalism would be a big issue. I happened to travel in Sweden a couple months ago and their new trains have tray tables. Lets say most of them were removed, broken or a safety hazard.
While I understand your wish and I would very much like such luxury too, I also understand that our trains don’t have these.
Tray tables mean moving/loose parts in the train and will be subject to vandalism.
Those trains have them in first class. But I find it not usefull to put a laptop on it, the tables are too small.
Probably to save money, 305 of those trains are in operation in Belgium x +-200 seats that can have a tray table. Thats a big cost.
Likely the same reason they don’t install wifi.
That the mobile connection is bad in some places is likely not in the hands of the NMBS.
I guess this is because these trains were originally designed for short distances.
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.
It’s a money issue. Simple as that.
In design everything’s okay and possible until money is discussed.
Find a different seat? There is unfortunately that Alstrom model where you have one tiny table just next to the doors… but other models usually have bigger tables.
These are Desiro trains, originally only meant for short commuting distances in cities, but for some reason NMBS decided to use these on a lot of Intercity services as well (probably because they bought way more of these sets than they needed for those juicy bulk discounts…)
These trains are infamous for being uncomfortable, shitty legroom, ironing board type seats… Pretty much the worst kind of rolling stock you can get in Belgium.
Public transport keeps getting worse and more expensive. Enjoy!
Deze AM08 desiro treinstellen waren origineel bedoeld voor het GEN netwerk . Bedoeld voor korte afstanden af te leggen .

Het was eigenlijk nooit de bedoeling geweest om deze treinstellen te gebruiken voor IC verbindingen te realiseren. Maar ja… hier zijn we dan. 🤷♂️
