They're disgusting places, but yes, there's definitely toilets on all the trains on our line, at least.

None on the Brisbane/Gold Coast trains either.

Ah, they probably don't have them on the trains that tootle around the inner city lines, but our line goes from Sydney to Lithgow, which takes around 3 hours - they'd have worse to deal with than teens smoking near the doors if they didn't have toilets!

Another old ugly person sat next to me reading Fifty Shades of Grey. Got to be something about openly reading porn on a train.

I can just imagine Mr Bean peering over to have a look at that and then pulling out a Penthouse magazine and pretending nothing is wrong.

Re: Train Etiquette

I got told off the other week for answering mobile calls in a quiet carriage. Fair enough but I no idea it was a quiet carriage. No sign, announcements or anything. My work phone does have the old school Nokia tone. Next time I will do a Dom Jolly.
