Surely crane drivers' options pose more of a conundrum.

...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:

Shocked that Irish Rail have someone to answer queries.

On the coal shovel surely and into the furnace with it.

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.

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