I'm fairly sure there's a law that says you must provide free toilets if
you serve alcohol - and this has been floated as the reason why St
Pancras toilets are free (the champagne bar etc).


Does this mean you can't have 'a trolley service of drinks and ... a fully
licensed bar' on a 313? Or a unit where the only toilet is locked out of
use?


Trains are a special case and aren't licenced, so I would expect any law
about licenced premises not to apply.

They are "licensed" in the sense that the sale of alcohol is dependant
on licensing laws which include trains within their scope (the only
real exemption seems to be any requirement for licensing of individual
places) which limit when and to whom the alcohol can be sold and can
prohibit such sales.
In any case, there does not seem to be any mention of toilets (or
tiolets) in current Licensing Acts.
