State of art loos at major rail hub

AFULLY accessible Changing Places toilet facility is now available for passengers at London’s Euston rail station.

Unlike the standard “disabled” toilets, Changing Places loos provide additional aids such as:

■ Height-adjustable adultsized changing bench.

■ Ceiling mounted hoist.

■ Centrally placed toilet with space either side.

■ Non-slip floor.

■ Height-adjustable washbasin.

■ Emergency alarm.

It is hoped the new loos will give those with profound and multiple disabilities, their carers, assistants and families the confidence to travel through the station.

Karen Hoe, Changing Places manager for Muscular

Dystrophy UK, which cochairs the Changing Places Consortium, said: “Changing Places toilets are a lifeline for the 250,000 people across the UK who rely on them.”

■ The Changing Places toilet is opposite the existing loos on the eastern side of the station.
