As an aside, isn't SWT saying they're going to remove up to 30 toilets
from their short-distance commuter stock to accomodate more seats. Of
course, these trains may then end up on the longer distance services
when there's a fault/stock shortage. A slippery slope! Take away
toilets on trains (or even reduce the number, bearing in mind that they
'fill up' quite quickly and will now effectively do so twice as quick)
and there will be carnage! Keep the deep clean crew on permanent
standby!

That is a possible risk, the 450s have 2 toilets, I guess they will leave
the train with the DDA compliant toilet only, as there are only 2 per unit.
They seem to be converting 28 out of the eventual 127 units, perhaps they
will repaint them in the 'red' inner suburban livery to assist in keeping
them on appropriate diagrams!

However the Southeastern 376s have no toilets and minimum seating, and don't
appear to have caused a media frenzy, neither have the intended 'Overground'
units based on 376s for the future NLR stock.
