Arrange to stop for a bit longer at a station or two with toilets en route for those who need to pay a visit?....is it really that difficult for anyone within GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) to use their imagination?

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

20:52 Cardiff Central to Westbury due 22:50
Facilities on the 20:52 Cardiff Central to Westbury due 22:50.
Toilet facilities are not available.
This is due to a fault on this train.

This exactly thing happened on the 16:00 from Plymouth to Paddington during the snow. Stops at Exeter St Davids & Taunton, before running non stop Taunton to Reading.
