I fully support them on this. Nobody should be forced to piss in a bottle or shit in a carrier bag at work these days. I'm surprised this is the first we've heard of this.
Larger stations normally have toilets - but they're not necessarily in working order, and the odds are they're not on the "platform side" of the ticket barriers, so maybe a 5 or more minute walk to get to.
Quite often the train is only in these terminus stations for 5 minutes.
Smaller stations in-between are normally just two platforms and a bridge to get to the other side.

Most trains have toilets on them. The only ones that don't tend to be the local 2-3 carriage bus on tracks style ones.

I thought the Pacers had all been retired?

I've been on one recently in Wales but that last local train I got was a new one so I think they are being replaced.

British train stations don't have toilets?

A bridge? Well la-de-dah Mr Aristocrat.

You think that's fancy? One of the stations I go past has a vending machine. Imagine that? Chocolate on demand!

They sell all sorts of things in the women's toilets at Bournemouth station.

even the ones that do normally have them locked for whatever reason now. they do normally have toilets on the actual train itself though

The rest of us should go strike over this tbh.
