chem1st Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 10p, or not to pee, that is the question: Whether 'tis Nobler in the mind to suffer The cramps and pains of outrageous natural needs, Or to take risk of succumbing to a Sea of troubles. This is the dilemma you face folks. For you may chance upon a journey, one through Sheffield station, The train is late, or you are early, and cometh desire for urination. You have a ticket and that is all, you cannot risk using a briefly stopped train nor the jump the barriers, you might fall you wish to pee but stand in vain! What the hell is going on at the station? 10p to urinate WTF! You can use the pub next door I suppose, maybe walk on towards the remnants of Dyson house? Risk hopping on a train quickly before it sets off? The trees beside park hill? Sheffield lacks public toilets, it's scandalous, a case of public hygiene! People who visit our city are denied access to toilet facilities upon entering, it is a joke! What do you think? Should we have free toilet facilities in the train station, like we do in the bus station? Or should we have some ridiculous charge that serves no rational purpose?

anywebsite Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Have they started charging? A scandal. It'll cost more to clean the stale urine up (if they bother) than they ever collect. I was shocked when I went to London & it was 20p to pee in St Pancras, I saw blokes peeing on the platform more than once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Vader Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 The toilet situation in Sheffield is scandulous and puts many people off going in to the city centre to shop, as they opt for Meadowhall instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horribleblob Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Aren't the facilities on platform 5 still free? They were two weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Pee before you leave home perhaps? Only flush if you don't have a water meter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strix Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 They've been charging for quite some time now I understand it was due to damage caused to the facilities I don't know if this was vandalism, or if it was the impossibility of getting one person and their luggage into night club sized cubicles made from materials only suitable for a small office with little 'traffic' through them in a day Is it actually legal to charge for toilet facilities that serve a cafe? All of the station catering facilities rely on the station toilets rather than providing their own don't they? (or at least the coffee place opposite does) Have you raised this with the rail users group? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leah-Lacie Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Is there a toilet inside Burger King? Edit: It may be customers only but the staff are so dim they wouldn't notice if you stood waiting for service, never mind if you nip to the loo.

orphanannie Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Don't think there is a toilet in Burger King but there is a toilet on platform 5 that is free and you do not need a ticket to enter the platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Orange Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Oh no, a whole 10p Now you know they charge, you can nip to a toilet in the bus station or go via platform 5, if you are so tight Failing that, cross your legs and use the toilet when you board the train.
