    British train stations don’t have toilets?

      Larger stations normally have toilets - but they’re not necessarily in working order, and the odds are they’re not on the “platform side” of the ticket barriers, so maybe a 5 or more minute walk to get to.

      Quite often the train is only in these terminus stations for 5 minutes.

      Smaller stations in-between are normally just two platforms and a bridge to get to the other side.

          You think that’s fancy? One of the stations I go past has a vending machine. Imagine that? Chocolate on demand!

            They sell all sorts of things in the women’s toilets at Bournemouth station.
