Full toilet tanks

All of our trains use a system known as Chemical Emissions Tanking (CET) to store waste from the toilets. This makes it safer for everyone around the train as well as colleagues that work on the track – and means that unlike older trains, our toilets can be used while the train is at the station.

Can you use the toilet while the train isn't moving? ›

As a general rule, people travelling on trains are warned not to flush the on board toilet while it's not moving. That's because most trains don't have sewage tanks, meaning anything in the toilet is dumped straight onto the tracks. So as you can imagine, if the train is stationary, it can cause huge problems.

A passenger train driver will be able to use the toilets at a station, on the train, or at a railway depot. A freight train driver will be able to use toilets in a freight yard, at a passenger station, or at a railway depot.
