They used to say the *waste* goes on the track. I don't really think it does though... does it? I used the toilet on a coach on my way back from Poland (got deli belly) when suddenly the coach stopped and the engine went off. I tried to flush the loo and it would not work because the power had been shut off. I could hear voices and I peeped out of the tiny window to see soldiers... we were at the Polish Border and the wanted to check the passports and passengers. I had to leave the loo without flushing it... most humiliating!First "Main-Line" electrification using Alternating-Current?

because the track would be covered in craphow do trains stay on the tracks?
It used to be due to the fact that the toilets flushed on to the track and a nice little turd staring at some old lady waiting for her train wasn't thought to be nice. However, it doesn't matter these days for in our sanitised society all train loos flush into retention tanks whixh are pumped out into proper sewage disposal points in the depot.Actually in reply to the answerer above - not all toilets empty in to a tank. Quite a few do still empty on to the track - hence the notice you will still come across.

You can't flush any of the older trains in the station as the waste is emptied straight onto the track, and as such would soil the station and eventually the smell would be rancid, as it would mix with the diesel usually emptied on the track as well.How do I get cheap fares from London to Manchester by train?
New trains like Virgin Voyagers and Pendolinos, Desiros etc. have what are called 'Controlled Emission Tanks'. These tanks are filled when the toilet is flushed, no matter where the train is.

As the name implies, the tanks are vented and they release the potentially dangerous build-up of methane that would occur in such a tank with such contents.
Where on-line can I find average passenger train rates for the early 1900s?
These tanks are emptied at depots that have CET pumping facilities. The trains are usually emptied at least once or twice a day, as when the tanks are full the toilets will usually take themselves out of service or will simply overflow and will be manually taken out of service by the train conductor/guard.

There was an uproar up north somewhere about 6 months back when some track workers were splattered by an emptying toilet of a GNER train whilst it went round a bend at about 125 mph.
Needless to say that started calls to remove all the old style toilets on trains but as there is no space to fit CET tanks on all stock, operators are stuck with them until they are eventually replaced with more modern rolling stock.
