Default Liverpool Street's open cesspit

I often take the train between Liverpool Street and Stratford and
have noticed that at the former station the higher-numbered
platforms reek of decaying human excrement. Apparently the tracks
in question serve as an open cesspit for waste flushed from the
train toilets.


Plat.2 at Victoria is the same, after the Orient Express has been in
on a Thursday night its disgusting down there.


Presumably all these trains are still displaying 'do not flush in
stations' notices as well...

People just don't care though.


When you've got to go, you've got to go! It'd be rude to leave a floater,
so it's only polite to flush.
