New toilets set to be opened at Market Harborough railway station tomorrow
(Thursday) after three years have suffered a last-ditch hold-up – over the
size of the cubicles.

The new lavatories were due to be finally thrown open to passengers and
visitors after they’ve been forced to use temporary loos at the crucial
local transport hub since the summer of 2019.

But the new toilets and waiting room on the northbound platform will now be
delayed for several weeks after final tests last Friday highlighted the
latest problem.

People don’t have enough room to walk past when the cubicle doors are open,
the Network Rail site visit showed.

And they can't wait ten seconds until the door is shut?

Perhaps the problem is the space inside the cubicle, so you can't walk
between the door and the pan. This is not an uncommon problem' I've seen
toilets where it was necessary to stand behind the pan to close (and
subsequently open) the door.

So pax are "doing their business" inside the cubicle with the door
open, because it's not possible to close it? If that's the case (ie
infringement of privacy, not delaying other pax) why not say so.

And can someone please fire the architect and building regs inspector
who were involved in perpetrating this plan.

They will find someone else to blame it on.
