Was she insured against this sort of thing? I get the impression she was fully covered....

Nice one Dave, I have to smile even though it was probably a nasty experience for the lady in question eh. She probably was covered.

Do you suppose she might have been a USA railway enthusiast? Then it might well have been a case of what happens 'when the s**t hits the railfan' !
...and what's the chances that if she'd come to the UK some years back, a similar event may have occurred on a 6-PAN or 4-LAV EMU? Or possibly on a train hauled by 'Deltic' D9012 'Crapello'? Wow! Real lavatorial humour!

That's easily explained - all French toilets suck...
Looks like he was on the phone, and was put on 'hold'. I wonder if he ever got his crappy phone back? I bet he was flushed!

Back in 800 days we ran into Newquay the train emptied the shunter uncoupled the engine to run around we got on the other end the shunter went in between and while he was in there a woman flushed the toilet the pipe was right next to Joe the shunter, he shouted at the top of his voice YOU DIRTY B?????? in think the whole of Newquay must of heard it.
She got out of the train and walked down the platform very quickly.
I had tears running down my face .

So, do toilets discharge onto the tracks ?

I remember the EMU's on the Southend (Victoria) line had a sign asking passengers not to use toilets while the train was in a station.

The thought of the tracks being contaminated with flushed "richards" seems a little unsavoury.

I don't think that ALL discharge on the track - I visited Ferme Park carriage sidings years ago, and the bog tanks were emptied there, but then again, I've noticed a Richard III on the tracks at Portsmouth Harbour station, everyone started singing 'Golden Brown' at the time!
