Forget the Power Supply, the Train itself is not safe. Haven't you heard of laptops stolen in trains? I have a relative who had her laptop stolen right before her eyes(no, she's not dumb) The thief just took it and jumped off the train.

Absolutely safe..infact lot safer than your home unregulated electrical outlet.
For safety from thieves you may want to invest in security Lock for laptop.
