By "half bathrooms" do you mean "bogs"?

It makes sense to me. An awful lot of journeys will be a hell of a lot
shorter than Maidenhead (not Reading) to Shenfield, and even for those
few people going all the way, it's only an hour and a half, as near as
damnit the same as Richmond to Upminster, which also has no bogs and
no-one seems to mind that.
