Be careful what you wish for.
The way things are going you might have bigger worries by the time you
reach those sort of ages ,
Too expensive for the state to keep aged bodies going in a couple of
decades so you pay yourself or peg it like back in the 19th century unless
you have taken out a good and costly health care package.
And even if you can obtain that do you think it will be available for your
children spending most of their income
on accommodation for most of their lives.

So far I can still if necessary not go for more than 12 hours and I’m in my
sixth decade, the people I’ve known
that start to have serious problems have been late 70’s to 90’s.
That just happens to be the same age bracket that some should be encouraged
to stop driving or actually have their licence taken away .

That means they would not be in a position to do what you suggest and drive
along A roads if they need frequent toilet breaks though I suppose there
is an outside chance the self driving car may be reality in a couple of
decades.

How did they cope in the past?

Stayed at home in the absence of suitable facilities or supplies? It
still happens now - Google for "period poverty".

Google tampons and sanitary towels.

Yes, but I suspect not the sort you're thinking of. The way climate change
is going I dread to think of the state things will be in in 30 years time.

Maybe, but I have my doubts. The technology is way over hyped and can't cope
away from the nice wide straight roads of north america.

Maybe once in a blue moon.

Individually that might be true, but there's enough of 'em that you can
expect there to be plenty of people doing it on every long distance
train.

I'll have you know that I have *never* ****ed myself, or got my knob out

I, like you, have no sympathy for those who are completely ****faced,

commuters. That's 1h45-ish. London to Bristol is about the same.
If someone can't hold it for that length of time then they need to see a
doctor.

And what treatment would the doctor recommend for someone whose
"illness" is childhood, pregnancy, or being old? Indeed, needing a ****
more often than normal is a side-effect of several medical treatments.
Should the doctor tell his patients "don't take your drugs, just die"?

The toilets on Le Shuttle aren’t a great example to compare things to.
They’re 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.

I hope you do. I wouldn't wish that level of mental deterioriation on
anyone. Partly because I don't wish you ill, partly because it's
unpleasant to be near someone who has ****ed himself.
