Yea I had that when driving an Electrostar. Tanking along happily at 100mph I had an Emergency Alarm. I stopped the train and walked back. In the 3rd carriage an RPI (ticket checker) met me and said a lady was trapped in the 'Big Loo' with the slidey door - what we call the Universal Access one.

It was really embarrassing for the poor love, as this was a Saturday morning and the train was crammed with football fans going to a match. After I'd operated the valves to release the door, the rotters gave her an untuneful round of "We know what you're doing".

She went puce with embarrassment and will probably never use a train toilet ever again.
