Not meant for chargers. probably fits the euro plugs on the vacuum cleaners they use. they may even have modified the plugs to fit and this is a deliberate design choice to prevent passengers plugging items in.
In this case they can say it with confidence. A europlug probably won't fit there, it's going to be too wide. If it was rotated 90° it would have worked.
This would make sense, except it would have been much easier (or simply more elegant, honestly) to use a tamper-proof socket with a plastic key you glue to the plug, without which you can't plug anything in.

I heard that the privatisation isn't going over well in some sectors.
Maybe a Europlug will fit if a full sized round plug doesn't?
Europlug - Wikipedia
I don't think so as the space is cut short exactly on the widest part required for insertion.
If they had rotated the outlet 90 degrees, it would have worked. Crappy design, indeed.
But that would violate some EU norm :p
I have some old soviet 2-prong plugs that would probably work, they have only about 1,5mm of bakelite around the prongs.
I don't mean to minimize this issue, but MÁV has bigger ones...
It's a Cyberman!, Run or you will be upgraded!
r/paredolia would love this
I thought it was one of those things from BLANK ROOM SOUP 😭

Euro plug won't fit in this direction (90° rotated would work). But yeah, maybe modified plugs
This is not case at all. It's an oversight or installation error.
I would assume the blue cover was either retrofitted or slipped forward from vibration.
You say that with such confidence, it must be true. No need to show your workings.

These plugs are standard on IC cartridges in MAV rolling stock. It even has the sticker showing the passenger where the plug is.
You are very naive. This is very clearly a design fault.
I don't think it's deliberate. It's just the horrible quality of MÁV rolling stock.

Megint

MÁV my beloved xd
Must remember to pack a small saw so I can trim down my plugs 🤦

Safety first
how did they even put it there
Guessing that blue panel didn’t originally stick out so far.
Gonna have to explain this one.
But apparently many have succeeded
Welcome, I hope you enjoy your stay.
kellemes utazást biztosít 😊
As a Hungarian, MÁV "Hungarian Railways" has bigger issues than this.
Welcome to Hungary where this will be your smallest problem.
That's why you always carry a pocket knife with you in Europe.
Different standard = crappy design, apparently
No, it's crappy train design. The edge of the outlet is being blocked by the window panel.
Oh, I didn't understand the issue either until I read your comment.
As a lover of the F-Plug I can tell you that the socket is just blocked by the blue piece. By that no approved plug would fit in it.
