The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the adequacy of train toilet provision on the Waterloo-Reading line.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

Department officials work closely with South Western Railway to ensure that adequate toilet facilities are provided to passengers on trains and at stations wherever possible, and I will ensure that officials raise this matter with South Western Railway. I am pleased to say that South Western Railway will be introducing brand new Class 701 trains with fully accessibly toilets, and will continue to roll these out, including on the Waterloo to Reading line as soon as possible.
