Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

British train stations don't have toilets?

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Larger stations normally have toilets - but they're not necessarily in working order, and the odds are they're not on the "platform side" of the ticket barriers, so maybe a 5 or more minute walk to get to.

Quite often the train is only in these terminus stations for 5 minutes.

Smaller stations in-between are normally just two platforms and a bridge to get to the other side.

A bridge? Well la-de-dah Mr Aristocrat.

You think that's fancy? One of the stations I go past has a vending machine. Imagine that? Chocolate on demand!

They sell all sorts of things in the women's toilets at Bournemouth station.

even the ones that do normally have them locked for whatever reason now. they do normally have toilets on the actual train itself though
