Virgin Trains' customer service team went above and beyond the call of duty when one passenger tweeted about his toilet woes.

Teen vlogger Adam Greenwood, from Lancaster, found himself in a nightmare situation while travelling on the train from London Euston to Glasgow - a complete lack of loo roll.

But rather than keeping quiet about the situation, Adam decided to tweet about his predicament:

His call for help was met with an unusual response - Virgin Trains came to the rescue in this interesting Twitter exchange

It's happened to me. Fortunately there was a copy of Metro in the cubicle. Being published by the same company as the Daily Mail it was a perfectly appropriate, albeit a little rough, alternative use.

Not necessarily the worst thing that can happen, according to Armstrong and Miller. (http://youtu.be/zyYfBS2Y1xQ) Spike Milligan also told a certain story about a chap with dysentery.
