A portable vacuum unit to empty them. How else?


The walkways along the stabling sidings aren’t sufficient for a mobile

Have you never seen the lorry that empties a septic tank?


Will it fit along the platform, down a flight of stairs, across the 2 feet
wide boarded walkway, and along the ballast down the 4 foot gap between
trains?

suitable for 10 CET tanks-worth of effluent. I doubt there are suitable
facilities to discharge said mobile vacuum unit either.

Presumably it would use the same facilities as the other methods.


The fixed equipment at depots have a larger-than-portakabin-sized building
which handles the effluent, and a proper feed into the sewage system.
Neither available at the stabling sidings mentioned.

So make the open inward. Why does it have to slide? How do disabled people
cope in non train toilets?


Sliding door allows the toilet cubicle to fit in the space available in the
train.

They managed to install toilets on le shuttle with normal doors. People seem
to manage to use them.


The toilets on Le Shuttle aren’t a great example to compare things to.
They’re disgusting. Clarkson was right to **** in a bottle.

10 hours? Where the hell is it going from and to?


Edinburgh to Penzance. It forms an early PM peak commuter train from
Bristol.

I doubt many people went end to end.


I never said they did. I guess a fair number of people make 4-5 hour
journeys though.
