Finally free to spend a penny at Waverley

Toilet charges have been scrapped at all of Britain’s busiest railway stations.

On Monday, Edinburgh Waverley, London Liverpool Street, and London King’s Cross became the last of 20 Network Rail stations to make their toilets free to use.

The public sector body previously charged up to 50p per person to use the facilities.

Network Rail chief executive Andrew Haines said: “Passengers have told us that toilets are an important issue for them and taking this step is just one of a number of small measures we are taking to put our passengers first.”

Anthony Smith, chief executive of independent watchdog Transport Focus, said: “Scrapping toilet charges is a welcome step for passengers and will signal the end of fumbling around for change to spend a penny.”
