Train station toilet tariffs scrapped

This weekend marked the end of train stations charging commuters to use their bathrooms.

Glasgow Central Station removed its fee to pee a month ago, but Queen Street and Waverley in Edinburgh kept their barriers until Saturday 30 March.

Network Rail chief executive Andrew Haines said: “Passengers have told us that toilets are an important issue for them and taking this step is just one of a number of small measures we are taking to put our passengers first, by helping to make their journeys a bit more hassle-free.”

Anthony Smith, chief executive of Transport Focus, said: “Scrapping toilet charges is a welcome step for passengers.

“Toilets are a priority for improvement at stations according to our research and will signal the end of fumbling around in your pocket for change to spend a penny.”
