Toilet charges scrapped at major train stations

The 30p toilet charges have now been scrapped at Edinburgh Waverley, London King's Cross and London Liverpool Street.

Sixteen other Network Rail-managed stations had already removed the charges, meaning you can now wee for free at all stations run by the organisation.

Network Rail has also installed free water fountains at 16 stations, and promised free drinking water at two more by the summer.
