There’s nothing worse than arriving at a train station, desperate for the loo, only to discover you don’t have enough cash to get through the barriers.

Legs plaited, you hope your bladder (or bowel) will hold long enough for you to get cash out and find a machine that will transform your note into coins. You then have the turnstile to contend with. And, most likely, a queue...

But for people with conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), toilet charges can prove even more problematic, which is why The IBS Network has praised National Rail for abolishing toilet charges in some of the UK’s busiest train stations.

London Liverpool Street, Edinburgh Waverley and London King’s Cross stations are the latest to join 16 other stations in ditching toilet fees.
