I think it may be more long distance trains when they terminate

I remember them at Portsmouth Harbour. I think their use has diminished since the introduction of retention toilets - they get refilled when the tanks are emptied. Was water used for cooling on some stock?

Am I right to say the Eurostar platforms at St Pancras have them? Under the platform surfaces but not used I believe.

Mobile water bowsers are in use at Northampton to refill tanks on 350s on LNw Euston - Birmingham trains (which generally have a pathing layover there of about ten minutes) possibly because there no facilities at either Euston or Birmingham - I don't remember having seen re-filling at either terminal. Presumably planned interworking with the shorter Euston routes to Tring and Milton K avoids using Euston.

Darlington has them in the bays but I'm not sure if they're still in use or not.
