The toilets on Le Shuttle arenât a great example to compare things to.
Theyâre disgusting. Clarkson was right to **** in a bottle.
TBH I don't see the purpose of them either. The journey is only 45 mins.
You've just driven down the M20, rushing to get to your shuttle on
time, and when you make it you relax and need a pee. Makes sense to me.
FTAOD I've never been on Le Shuttle and therefore have no experience of
their tiolets, but from the description I'd guess people who use
wheelchairs don't use them at all, unless "normal doors" includes ones
that open outwards, in which case you've just created a potentially
wasted space outside the tiolet which needs to be kept clear for anyone
to use it.
The Le Shuttle car carriages are either single or double deck. Usually one
half of each train is double and one half single. On both types there’s a
narrow 'pavement' down the sides of the 'roadway'.
On the double deck carriages, there’s a toilet underneath the stairs in
every third carriage. On single deck trains there are two toilets in each
of the end carriages. They’re narrow due to location and my recollection of
them is filthy, stinky and disgusting.
They’re not wheelchair accessible due to lack of width, and also you
wouldn’t be able to get there from your car unless you happened to be
parked right next to the toilet.
