And how do you think the Bristol and Norwich passengers will feel
about travelling in rapid transit trains with no bathrooms, many

The service will require proper inter-city stock with loos (NOT
bathrooms PLEASE), doors that close properly and adequate seating.

The substandard stock which you describe will be used on services such
as Maidenhead - Shenfield.

I take it you mean lavatories.

To call a spade a spade: Toilets.

There. That wasn't difficult, was it?

Hopefully not, no. One would expect a toilet to be less smelly than a
tiolet, as well as having a comprehensible locking mechanism and not being
out of order.
