Some people just like to complain about anything!
Well, I thought that the staff behaved in a very rude way.
What happened - the toilet in the ensuite cabin stopped working.
I overheard the passenger in the adjacent cabin complaining about the same thing.
Depending on which portion you're in that's giving you plenty of options. Why would you need to use the seated car?
Next to our sleeping car was the dining car. So I went there. Unfortunately, I was not able to find a toilet in that car. So I walked further - into the seating car - well I tried at least.
The staff yelled at me - that it was policy that sleeping car passenger are not allowed to use the toilets in the seating car. I was appalled, esp. by the rudeness of the staff.
I can see the logic of not wanting the seating car passengers wandering around the sleeping coaches so it makes sense to not let the toilet(s) in the sleeping car get over used.
Well yes, as I was not a seating car passenger that policy should not apply.
There should be enough alternatives within adjacent sleeping coaches for sleeping car passengers.
Where is the toilet in the dining car ?
Why would you need to use the seated car?
... because I couldn't find a toilet in the dining car.
I don't see an issue with the toilets in there being reserved for those using the seats.
And that policy I would like to check with the "owners" (franchisee /franchiser or whomever you want to call them).
There are plenty of toilets in the berth section, and should they all fail there are bigger problems the train is facing.
The fact that the passengers in the adjacent cabin were complaining about that as well, leads me to believe that there are indeed bigger problems.
Why do you think this is an issue?
... being yelled at by the train staff.
