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.

You can find out more about how this forum works [here] - that will link you to a copy of the forum agreement that you can read before you join, and tell you very much more about how we operate. We are an independent forum, provided and run by customers of Great Western Railway, for customers of Great Western Railway and we welcome railway professionals as members too, in either a personal or official capacity. Views expressed in posts are not necessarily the views of the operators of the forum.

As well as posting messages onto existing threads, and starting new subjects, members can communicate with each other through personal messages if they wish. And once members have made a certain number of posts, they will automatically be admitted to the "frequent posters club", where subjects not-for-public-domain are discussed; anything from the occasional rant to meetups we may be having ...
