I WAS FORCED TO SHIT IN CRISP PACKET ON 7.20 TRAIN TO CARDIFF

-

VILE SMELL: John put poo in bin in carriage A PASSENGER trapped on a train with broken bogs was forced to shit in a CRISP packet – after narrowly avoiding being stranded on a windswept platform.

John King, 44, was travelling to Cardiff from his home in Haverfordw­est, west Wales, on the 7.20am service when the guard announced the lavs were out of order.

Trader John said: “My heart fell because I was desperate, but I thought ‘Hey ho, I’ll hold it in’.”

But John’s journey turned to farce when a guard on the Arriva Trains Wales service told passengers to take a loo break at Carmarthen if they needed one.

Six passengers, including a 15-year-old girl, got out at the station – but the train LEFT before they could get back on. packet on a moving train? It’s not easy.

“Then I realised we were on a train with no opening windows, so I could not throw the dirty packet out.

“I had to put it in a bin and move carriages.

“I pity whoever was sat near that bin. It was a vile-smelling shit.”

A spokesman for Arriva Trains Wales said about the broken shitters: “We apologise for the upset and inconvenie­nce caused.

“We are carrying out a full investigat­ion and our Customer Relations team have been speaking to passengers directly.”
