Long trips on European rail systems are ideal

While train travel works well for shorter trips, it is also ideal for longer trips. Sleeper cars are available on some train routes, allowing for a comfortable night’s sleep. While train fares can be quite economical, first class seating in the UK and Europe will allow travelers an enjoyable and relaxing ride to their destination. Long distance train services are most apt to offer first class services. These may include more comfortable seating, tables, upgraded decor, meal services and more. Business travelers will also appreciate access to first class lounges in many train stations with wireless internet, power outlets for charging mobile phones, laptops and other electronics, comfortable spaces for meetings, and more.

    If you think that business users are the only ones wanting to use laptops you are very much mistaken. I wonder if this statement is made on the basis of market research or mere wishful thinking.
    I could spend endless hours on the train, even avoid flying altogether, if there were power supplies, but if power and wifi cost extra, on top of the extra cost of rail travel, and the extra time taken, and the extra hassle of booking, and changing trains, then its just one more thing to turn ordinary customers off the environmentally-less-damaging option.
