It could be controlled by a box of relays, I suppose, but it wouldn’t
necessarily be more reliable and there’d still have to be a computer
interface for fault reporting.


Isn't the point of it that the PIS systems all the way down the train
report which toilets are vacant?


IETs don’t have that feature. In any case, that could still work if the
toilet (not the PIS) was controlled by a box of relays.
