Waiting at south tottenham station recently was not a pleasent experience
(and
not just because of the locals) - there was **** and toilet paper all over
the
northbound track. Its 2010 for gods sake, why is discharge from trains on
the
line still allowed? Apart from the unpleasentness for passengers it must
be an
appalling health hazard for track workers.

Were 158s the last .uk passenger stock to have non-retention toilets?
They're all over 20 years old now.

However, retention toilets have been a long time coming. Were the first in
the stock built for the through Ealing Broadway - Southend trains (via the
District Line, Campbell Road Junction, and the LTSR) in 1910?
