Crap Trains

[psychocandy]

News at clientco regarding this mornings Rochdale to Manchester service failing to stop at any intermediate stations owing to someone depositing a tulip outside the toilet door and the train making a dash to the depot to be cleaned. Apparently the station announcements didn't mince their words. :

I like to think it was intended as a comment on the quality of Northern Rails rolling stock.

Traps loaded and busting for a dump. What do you do? If the windows opened you could stick your bum out.

Better than crapping your kecks I suppose. LOL.

I thought it might have been a laugh trying to ram a brown draught excluder down the pan and leave it hanging there just as the train rolled into the station. Oh the horror!

There's some champion sized turds there too.

Should that be a surprise? You'd have to be pretty desperate to want to go on a train.

Those old grater anglia carriages are luxurious (no exageration) compared to the first capital ones. Didn't realise the head was just a trap-door though

[hyperD]

I didn't realise opening the bomb bay doors on the tracks was still legally permitted?!?!? WTF?!?!?

[vetran]

it was decided decades ago this practice was to be discontinued its totally unsanitary, not sure why any train boss with such carriages is allowed to get a bonus?

For goodness sake its just fitting a septic tank, pretty sure they could be retrofitted on most carriages.
