Both restrooms on this morning's 7:44AM train from Hornbeam Park to Leeds were 'out of order'.
Sort of like John Cleese out of Fawlty Towers, conductor gave the sort of response in a tone of voice that came across as "typical, I know - you think it's bad, well I have to work on this train!" Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating, but he didn't express any surprise or apology for the appalling situation. (I guess this is 'small potatoes' relative to other problems Northern Rail has.)
He offered kindly to let me use the nearest 'out of order' restroom, and guard the door for me once he got down to that carriage. I said fine. Surprise, surprise - he never reached that point!
