Well with the FGW (First Great Western) HST (High Speed Train) refurbishment that included Electric Toilet Flush, it would have been EASY PEASY to install a link between the Toilet Flush and External Door control, When Doors Unlocked the Toilet Flush is Isolated  DOO (Driver-Only Operation (that is, trains which operate without carrying a guard))!

Do you know, I wondered today whether that was actually fitted when I went for a pee just after Swindon only to find a log (of such gargantuan proportions that had it been parked in a regular khazi it would surely have caused a danger to shipping upon reaching the channel) winking back at me. The flush worked fine so I concluded that either it was isolated whilst at the platform or that the previous occupant was a filthy lazy logging fecker.
