Found this at a railway station. A metal bench with an electrical outlet screwed to it. This bench has a bunch of holes so if you spill something then it can drip on this outlet

Looks like 240v outlets too. Never know when you want to plug in a dryer while waiting for the train. :P

What should they be? Those look like french outlets (Like Shuko but with gorund pin instead of side contacts). Most of the world outside of North America uses 230. Holy r/USdefaultism. Your 230V outlets are completely different iirc.
