Both. :-)For example, much of the S-Bahn stock in Germany does not feature bathrooms, while the double deck stock used for Regio services is more likely to feature bathrooms. As another example, in the UK, the Electrostars* form seven classes with rolling stock gear from long distance near intercity levels of service to near subway loading standards, and the availability of bathrooms will vary with the medium distance units having them, and the metro-oriented units lacking them. In other words, even in first world countries, one is very likely to find rolling stock without bathrooms in mainline service, and it's not the worst thing in the world. *The Electrostars are a third rail and overhead catenary capable trainset made by Bombardier, and given that the oldest units are contemporaries of the M-7s, I'm going to argue that the British ended up with the best of BBD, and we ended up with the worst. |
