If it was me I would stop, use the lav, o and I would contact the signaller to let then know.
Done it before and will do it again.

I believe some of the Euston to Glasgow services go non-stop from Euston to Preston. Am I right in thinking there is only one driver? In which case, what happens when, just after leaving Euston, the driver feels that urge to shake his snake?

He hopes he's packed a bottle... or hopes that he encounters a red signal so he can jump out. Ladies have less to look forward to, I imagine.

I think it would be standard procedure to go before you leave. ;)

I just wondered whether like me you wanted to join the railway.

Even if you go before you leave, it's not beyond the realms of possibility you'd need to go 45 mins to an hour later.

Driving a train would be a fun thing to do but I'm an air traffic controller now, and happy.

Is it your dream? It would be my dream.

Well you do your best to go beforehand, but if you are caught short you do what you need to do and cause a small delay. Better that than to set off and be distracted by the fact you are bursting for a pee. Safety first!
