It has been an ongoing saga for 50 years. Operators flip flop between providing toilets at stations and on trains. The issue is important as many people have limited bladder capacity and the uncertainty leads to a disinclination to travel. You are then on the slippery slope to social isolation, loneliness and depression. The London Freedom pass may be expensive to provide but it keeps us oldies socially engaged.
Southern are to start phasing out the Class 313 "Coastway" units and to be replaced by the Class 377/3 3-Car Electrostars. And Southeastern to recieve the remaining Class 707s from South Western Railway once the Class 701 "Arterios" have begun passenger service. Plus the Class 707 on Southeastern and SWR don't have toilets. Same with the Southeastern Class 376.
you’re complaining about the southeastern trains not having toilets, at least the metro routes have 4tph off peak and consistent 8/10 (sometimes even 12) car workings. the same can not be said about southern
Good to see you caught London Bridge on a clear day with a nice long view of the down lines.
It is a great spot when the weather is kind.
Great video
Nice
Great video Mr B. The availability of on train toilets seems to be a bit of an issue especially as some stations don't have facilities either . 🤔🤓
