I consider myself an expert on #NS #VIRM trains but there's still something to learn. Like this unit number 8741 has the interior of the newest modernisation, but on the outside, it looks like the 1st series modernisation, in contrast to what the app is showing.

Apparently this was the modernisation prototype before the Flow livery was introduced.

Another almost shocking experience with an onboard electrical outlet. ⚡

Apparently many people travel with chargers manufactured so poorly that the pins hold stronger in the outlet than in the charger itself.

I don't have any insulated tools with me, nor have I seen any staff to report this to, so this will probably stay like this for a while in the ABv6 part of #NS #VIRM 8640.

Today I was lucky enough to ride the last non refurbished #NS #VIRM-III number 8746 which is due to refurbishment in January.
This is probably my last ride on a VIRM without red/blue seats or closed toilet system.
