Liverpool Lime Street, Birmingham New Street & London Euston also charge 30p for the privilege, whereas many other main-line stations are completely free (e.g. Preston, Warrington Bank Quay, Crewe, Stafford, Bristol Temple Meads). Not sure why there is such a discrepency. I suppose it is true to say though that where you have to pay, the toilets are generally more modern and of a higher standard.
I know what you mean about Manchester Victoria though. Have travelled through there several times in the last few weeks. So glad the toilets are free, but yes they are in a bit of a state.
The notice they had outside which reads something like "due to repeated incidents of indecent behaviour, the area is now monitored by CCTV" can be a little off putting though.
