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.”
