Lumo trains run five-hour London to Scotland routes without toilets

Train operator Lumo has confirmed its five-and-a-half-hour West Coast Main Line services are running with no working toilets. The toilet issue, which started on August 1, has led to outrage from travellers using the route between London Euston and Stirling. UK train operators face no legal obligation to include toilets on their services, regardless of journey length.
