So, does anyone know what SIEMENS and Škoda were cooking when in the ComfortJets they made the WC doors very hard to open (requiring a VERY firm push on the door) and then put a blue button labeled "WC" on the outside of each WC door that just goes "booooop" very loudly but doesn't actually do anything else?

I assume that the button is something for a11y reasons, but these two facts combined mean that 7/10 passengers will not be able to open the door (because they didn't push hard enough), be confused, see the "WC" button, push it a couple times (which boops very audibly inside the whole cabin) and then be even more confused

In short, Škoda and SIEMENS made a toilet with bad UX. Good job! x3

Also love that the train lighting apparently has no concept of when the sun sets. In summer, this was fine, but now its dark outside and I am being blasted by headache light >:(
Photo looking up at the grey ceiling of a train car. A bright rectangular light is centered below two round reading lights, with a small panel beneath it holding two blue indicator lights, two round buttons, and a speaker grille. An olive green jacket with a checked lining hangs from a hook on the left, and the gray top of a seat back sits at the bottom.

@star the doors to the toilets also often vary in the amount of force necessary, sometimes a firm yet gentle push is enough, and sometimes you need to really push the door to open it

a door handle fixes this

@cuddleworks yes, a door handle would be amazing. either that, or have the WC button assist IN ANY WAY instead of doing nothing x3
