    Stand for number 1 and sit for number 2? Unless it's a lady, they probably sit for both

    They stand up if men.

    Squat if women.


    Then relax and let it flow.

    It's not as entertaining as the way an ice cream man does.

    They can't leave the cab or whatever they call it.

    Cant they just go before the journey like everybody else? I dont think there's any train journey in Ireland that doesnt stop after 2 hours or thereabouts. If you cant hold it for 2 hours, good luck to ya!

    **as a backpacker in a Melbourne 'job club' **.


    "Drive a train"

    Said the glaswegian lad in front of me, after being asked what "he'd like to do in Melbourne"?

    (He was a joiner in Scotland)

    Surely crane drivers' options pose more of a conundrum.

    There should be a AMA thread for a train driver so we can put these very questions to him.

    He just wanted to take a dump in a brown leather satchel, while travelling at 180 mph.

    You know there's such a thing called google to answer your constant stream of weird questions and if google can't answer it it probably wasn't worth asking in the first place.

    I disagree there, chief. Aside from some reports of disgruntled drivers and the odd fatality here and there around the world, Google has no idea what the water-closet arrangements are for the average modern locomotive driver. To that end, I have contacted Irish Rail to ask them if any of their locomotives feature small restroom facilities in the driver's cabin area, particularly the newer IE 201 Class machines. I will report back here as soon as I have information.

    Irish Rail have spoken:

    Good Afternoon Mr. Goose,
    No, none of our Locos have a toilet facility in the Driver's cab.


    Hmm, this is serious. I shan't be able to approach a level-crossing anymore without the Thousand Yard Stare, ready to duck. :pac:

    Most Locos in the UK had jacks in the engine compartment. Couldn't use them while in motion mind.

    I am a train driver. Seriously. Once on a trip to Cork I ate got a dodgy chicken burger from Hillbillies. Had a rumble in the stomach going through the tunnel out of Cork on the return leg. Thought it would pass and it did. Briefly. About 5 minutes past Mallow I got the 'DROP'. Had to lash on the emergency brake. Rang control and told them some little **** pulled the emergency cord and had to go back and reset it. With that I legged it out of the cab, back to first class and nose dived into the jacks. With beads of sweat on my brow the world fell out of my ass.

    So in summary we lie to control then stink out first class.

    And thus a modern folk hero is born.

    Feck control, and feck first class!

    Class boundaries don't stand up when you've got to unload a steaming coil of scuttery midden.
