    "I have peed out of a moving train window - the older slam door type - but"

    I once pissed all over the seats in a carriage(10+years ago). All the toilets were locked, I couldnt open a window, I was pissed. Ahhhhhhh

    I then got stuck on the wrong train, got off at a station, punched a window out on the bridge, got back on a train and for some reason got nicked!!!

    I sh1t on the floor on a Midland mainline train a few years ago. ALL the toilets were locked as there was a water problem on the train, which was non stop to St Pancras from bloody Leicester.

    I have peed out of a moving train window - the older slam door type - but

    1: I was pissed & bursting
    2: All the toilets were locked due to being out of order
    3: The train was deserted

    Man on trains defecating charge

    A man has been charged with causing more than £20,000 worth of criminal damage by defecating in train carriages across the south-east of England.

    Bonney Eberndu, 36, of no fixed address, was arrested at Camberwell Green bus garage, in south-east London.

    Wife works for the company - will see if I can get the breakdown.
    Just had a quick word with her: material costs are very expensive - for instance a seat cover costs around £50. Carpets are also very expensive and the total cost of repairs will be a few grand.

    However, the biggest cost is the process of removing the train from the schedule, the cost and fines of the delays, changing the signalling schedule, the cost of the enquiry with the police and the horrendous paperwork involved.

    So, we have to pay for their "shunting" as well do we. Nice work if you can get it.
