COMMUTERS fear being caught short in a £1billion rail upgrade which includes trains with no toilets.
The electric tram-trains will be brought in as part of “improvements”;; in South Wales.
But one passenger said it was “absolute madness”;; that the carriages will be without loos.
Rail staff admitted they were “dreading”;; the likely problems with the elderly, children, disabled people and drunks.
The Welsh Labour government says the new South Metro project will “provide better options”;;.
Passengers needing the loo will have to get off at a station.
One commuter said it was “absolute madness”;;, adding: “We certainly are going backwards in Wales!”;;
Another added: “No public toilets at the vast majority of stations either.
“I regularly travel from to Merthyr and also Aberdare. Both big towns and not a toilet in sight.”;;
One shocked commenter added: “I have a funny feeling there’s going to be lots of urine on the floor on a Friday and Saturday night.”;;
Transport for Wales said on-board toilets would “significantly reduce capacity”;; and that passengers would always be within a 20-minute journey of a loo.
