Tables in Finnish trains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately the small table in the last picture is the most common one in Finnish trains and you can’t tell in advance what kind of tables there are on the train. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, you can be sure to get a better ”gray table” if you book your seat in the compartment for pets. (You can do it even without a pet, it’s perfectly ok.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The restaurant car’s upper deck has similar (light brown) tables but there is an extra fee for those seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
