Toilets on the TfL Rail Class 360 Units
Dear Transport for London,
I would like to know why you have disabled the use of toilets on your fleet of Class 360 (Desiro) units on the TfL Rail between Paddington and Terminal 4.
Many people travelling to and from the airport on a daily basis will need to use facilities such as the toilet, which is already available on these units. In fact, I have seen people walking through the carriages thinking the toilet is functional when it isn’t.
Yours faithfully,
Jamie kennedy
