Well, if we got the passengers to stop using the toilets it could have the same effect.
What is wrong here is that you have a commuter train which is
supposed to call into a terminus every hour or so being used to ferry people on journeys for over three hours. Sure the toilets are wonderfully designed, they may work very well - under the condiditons they were built for. If a toilet gets blocked on a surburban service then when the train pulls into Connolly or Heuston Mrs Mop gets on and cleans it and unblocks it.
Now, of course, this is subject to the fact that IE have a Mrs Mop to do this simple yet essential service. They proably dont. That is the real issue not maintenance not design. Toilets are being used in a senario they were not designed for, along with doors that open in the middle of the carriage on trains that were never designed for the Sligo run.
But sure, we told them that. However, people thought that new trains = adequate facilities. Now they know better, and also, they know just what IE thinks of them.
