Every Eurostar train has a little known 'prison cell', a train manager has revealed
Mr Cracknell said that he had only seen it used once for its intended purpose of one of the trains he was managing - when a suspect was being extradited from France to the UK.Mr Cracknell also shared a picture of an older version, which looks more menacing.
Some people saw the funny side. One person joked: "I'm assuming an at seat service of drinks and light refreshments is not served?"An older version of the restraint.Another said: "On the South side of the tunnel it's the baguette holder, on the north side it's for the umbrella". A third person quipped: "I'm travelling with my son in August. He's a bit of a fidget. Can these facilities be booked in advance."
But it's unlikely you'll be sitting in the space on your next trip across the Channel - Mr Cracknell said that the handcuff seat is not given to normal passengers "unless absolutely necessary".Asked if there were special procedures to remove the handcuffs in the case of an emergency, Mr Cracknell said yes - but that he couldn't reveal the answer publicly.
