Station loos rake in £5m

A RAIL company is making millions from commuters spending a penny.

Network Rail earned almost £5million from pay toilets at 12 of the busiest stations across the UK in the past year.

London Victoria has the most lucrative, with travellers spending £911,500, while income from Glasgow Central rose to £325,100 from £207,200 in 2014.

However, users of Birmingham New Street can relieve themselves for free.

A Network Rail spokesman said: ‘Any money raised from the charges is reinvested into the railway and passenger facilities at our stations.’
