Default Power socket?

Can anyone tell me what seats (if any) are near a power socket so I can use my laptop on the train to Ballina tomorrow morning?

I know someone asked before but I've searched high and low and can't find the post.

This is easy enough

1. If there is a first class coach, sit in it under the table you will find a socket. There are no timetabled services with first on the Mayo line thus its not a first class coach its no class at all

2. Failing that bring an extension lead and sit near the luggage rack, socket to be found there

3. On the Manualla Ballina bit the railcar should have a socket next to the cab door

4. Though not on Saturday on the Fridays only to Ballina the old Mk2d's have a strange looking socket info from the field indicates its good juice if you have a modern enough power supply its AC alright but voltage no one knows though it should be 230V

Ah... oh well.

Maybe I'll go with the extension cable idea. I might wander over and and ask the folks in the Level Crossing Removal thread for some ideas

Cheers anyway.

Nah you want the MIT resonant wireless power transfer thingy

Or get a second battery

Biggest hint is to kill the backlight on the screen totally by turning the brightness to zero, still usable saves a heap on the batteries
