Default TfL's bid to control trains has much going for it - Mark Hansford

But avoid Spain and Portugal if you don't like metro-style and
tiolet-less trains being used on some very long journeys (1 or even 2
hour+).


Hmm? A 1-hour journey is not so unusual in a large metro area...

With metro-style timetables, on-board toilets really aren't necessary --
one can always disembark en-route and use a toilet in a station; the
next train should be along shortly.
