@feorag it creates unpleasant conditions for the man who has to walk ahead of the steam locomotive holding a red flag.

@feorag Reminded of the fact that there are (or, more probably, were) loads of tomato plants growing beside British railway tracks, because of cheese and tomato sandwiches.
(Also reminded of That Scene in Loach's The Navigators).

@feorag
In the 1970s, I was taking trains in the former USSR. If you 'flushed' the loo, a flap opened in the bottom. You could see the railroad ties whishing by underneath.Yeah, I don't do that in the station.

@cryptosantra @feorag Also in the 1990's in Germany. I do sometimes feel old, but not for that.

@feorag LOL I still use the phrase ”Works like a train toilet” when I refer to something that’s reliable, albeit not necessarily in the most agreeable manner.

I just remembered part of a little song (maybe Fred Wedlock):
"Passengers will please refrain
From passing water while the train
Is standing in the station here at Crewe..." -

@feorag I must have missed that memo. Is it ok to use the loo in the station now?

@wamonite They use a similar system to plane toilets now, so it is okay to use them at the station. Still feels wrong.

@feorag I think, but not entirely sure, that the Trenitalia I took two weeks from Lyon to Paris, actually has all the washrooms locked (red/busy) while in station. I had to walk up and down the aisle like a four-year old.

@feorag (was a super-modern, 300kph train) Also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ewZFQIq9As about the composing system smell on SBB. Not exactly the right video.
