Maybe health & safety should consider public sensitivities when trains get stuck for long periods especially in tunnels or even inclement weather like snow drifts or floods. There should be some means for stranded passengers to get some relief for thirst, hunger and toilet requirements supplied as necessary under emergency legislation. There are plenty of helicopters available which can deliver to the wilds of our countryside and there is no reason that special carts like Wycombe trollies cant be adapted as portaloos for use in tunnels. Maybe the passengers charter should be amended with these sort of instances in mind as they seem to happen with alarming regularity.
