I have seen similar wanton vandalism in some facilities on commercial premises, and know of at least one establishment which now has a combination lock on the main access door in an attempt to protect the facilities. If they were properly funded and staffed it wouldn't be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the one I was thinking about, but I'm sure there are others too. 10 minutes ago, Halibut said: If they were properly funded and staffed it wouldn't be a problem. If the brain-dead didn't vandalise them, it would be even less of a problem. As an aside, why do you think almost all new or refurbished public facilities are now of steel construction, with concealed piping? Exactly - in an attempt to protect them from the zombies.

Shops, cafes, restaurants etc etc should all be incentivised to open their toilets to the public (without needed to purchase anything first).

OK, the risk is, I suppose, fairly low, but any damage means they out of action, and are going to cost the establishment to repair - and they will be unavailable to anyone.

Wasn't there some sort of initiative years ago where the council linked up with places to offer public toilets to save running their own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, there was such an initiative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my experience at Sheffield - I assume that is the station you are referring to - none of the platform facilities have a charge, only the one on the main concourse.

Right, that's what I meant, on the main concourse you have to pay. I'm not sure if every platform has a facility or not, but platforms 6-8 do.
