Translates to “yess, The cuck chair is still available”

Though I think it’s actually for sitting next to a wheelchair bound companion, or to sit while holding your bike out of the way of the aisle.

Thank you, because I had no idea what the hell that sentence was saying. It turns out that not everything transcends languages. Understanding what words mean is actually pretty fucking important.

I always assumed that they’re that way because a second chair would block the door.

Oh yeah, you may be right. I saw some trains in NL have upper sections, and the last row before the stairwell will have just one chair to give people space to negotiate it. So that could be it as well

This “cuck” is probably an anglicism.

Also, the barrier between English and Dutch is pretty flimsy.

I’ve heard it described as “a drunk British sailor trying to speak German”.

I wish the Dutch would respect my barriers more.

You know, a few hundred years ago, they respect the barriers even less.

Especially to their colonies.

A few hundred years ago, their language was a German dialect!
