Do long distance trains have bathrooms?

How do I know if my train has a toilet?

Check the Southeastern app. Live departures show toilet info. Simple.

Key Feature: App provides real-time data. 2024 update.

• Toilet availability.
• Accessible toilets.
• Baby-changing facilities.

My commute? The 7:15 from Ashford to London. Never had a problem.

This app, though. It’s a lifesaver. Seriously. Avoids unpleasant surprises. Trust the tech. Or, you know, risk it. Your call.

• Download the app.
• Check before you go. Duh.

Last week? No issues. Smooth trip. My usual seat, 3B. But yeah, check the app. Always. Avoid disappointment.

Do trains have bathrooms on them?

Yeah, trains. Bathrooms.

They’re there, aren’t they? Usually, on longer routes.

• Often at the end of each carriage. I hate that walk sometimes. Especially at night.
• It’s always… weird. Never feels clean enough, you know?

Thinking about train rides. Reminds me of when I went to Chicago. alone. Last year? Maybe. Early 2023, I think.

• God, that trip. I was so lost. So lonely.
• The train back felt endless. Just staring out the window. Watching the world rush by.
• And yeah, used the bathroom a few times. Smelled like stale coffee.

I just…I think a lot.

What trains have no toilets?

So, you wanna know about trains without loos? The Elizabeth line, right? It’s crazy, but those new trains, they don’t have toilets. Seriously! No bathrooms whatsoever. The stations are super close together, like, ridiculously close. Makes more sense to just use the station facilities, you know? Saves space, adds more seats. More people can fit on, it’s all about efficiency.

It’s a really smart design, actually. I mean, think about it– less weight on the trains, too! Less stuff to maintain. I heard they considered it during the design phase, and chose that way. The whole thing is really clever. My cousin works near one of the stations, and she says they’re always busy, plenty of toilets for everyone. Plus, the trains are, like, super speedy. You’re barely on them before you’re at the next stop.

• Improved passenger capacity: More seats, more people.
• Reduced train weight: Less maintenance, lower energy use.
• Station toilets: Convenient and readily available.
• Short journey times: No real need for onboard facilities.

Other lines, though? Many other lines do have toilets, of course, like the older ones. The Elizabeth line’s just an exception. a really successful one though, I must say! A really clever exception. I’d rather have more space then a loo any day. The stations are clean too, which helps.

Where are the toilets located on a train?

Train toilets? Think of them as the elusive Yeti of public transportation – always rumored to exist, but finding them can be an adventure.

Single-level coaches? Picture this: two porcelain thrones, majestic in their simplicity, reigning at the car’s end. One, of course, is wheelchair-accessible, because even the royal family needs a ramp sometimes.

Two-level Superliners? Forget the top deck’s panoramic views for a moment. The loo? It’s like a hidden speakeasy, tucked away down below. Think of it as a “lower-level lavatory lounge”. Much more elegant, don’t you think?

• Single-Level: End of the car. Like, the very end. Seriously, that’s where they are.
• Superliner (Two-Level): Lower level. It’s a journey. An adventure. A quest, even.

My personal experience? Let’s just say I once spent five minutes desperately searching for a Superliner toilet while battling a truly epic bladder emergency. Let’s just say that finding the bathroom on that 2024 Amtrak trip to Chicago wasn’t exactly my finest hour. Not my proudest moment.

Are there private bathrooms on trains?

Bathrooms? Depends.

• Bedrooms, Bedroom Suites: Private, full. Toilet, shower, sink. Vanity. Done.

• Accessible Rooms: Sink is in-room. Restroom too. Shower? Shared. Outside your door. Deal with it. It is what it is. Mom always said so.

Do US trains have toilets?

Yes, US trains generally have toilets, particularly on long-distance routes. Actually, most Amtrak trains feature restrooms, a practical necessity, right?

• Sleeping accommodations usually include:
  • Meals
  • Picture window…imagine the views!
  • Showers and toilets
  • Electrical outlets

Beyond these amenities, consider the sheer romanticism of train travel. We’re not talking about a cramped flight! It’s a rolling hotel, more or less.

Climate control is also standard. This is very useful, especially on cross-country trips. My aunt Susan once took the California Zephyr… raved about the scenery, less about the lack of Wi-Fi, ha!
