Yes very interesting day and tiring too, To answer your question about the toilets i can say that From Birmingham to London it was Pendalino 390 004 and my seat was in Coach D and yes the toilet was in use.

From London to Crewe it was Pendalino 390 030 and my seat was in Coach B and again the toilet was in use but one thing i noticed about it is that it didnt seem to cope very well with the ammount of people using it as when close to crewe there was a terible smell from it alogh it was clean.

I did read not long ago in one of the Railway Magazeen that they had some problems with the toilets on the Pendalinos becasue of the quiality of the pipe worrk in to the septic tank in the roof ad this is were th waste goes on these i belive probably because some lines into London are third rail.

I shall be contacting Virgin Trains about this now that you have reminded me and see what they have to say about.

Iam still waiting to hear from Network Rail and Northern about the incident at Warrington as i do feel they owe me something for the upset and that i have aright to express my concerns etc.
